Hello friends. Sadly, this is the last challenge for The Flower Challenge. I have so enjoyed this challenge and will definitely miss it. They want us to Use Christmas Florals. Of course, I thought of poinsettias as I have quite a few to choose from but settled on this oldie from Stampin Up - Poinsettia Petals.
I die cut the 3 layers of the poinsettia from white and shaped the petals with my fingers, glued the 3 layers together and added the center cut from gold foil. The leaves from the set was cut from some green from my stash and the sprigs from the gold foil. I also cut the sentiment from my new Papertrey Ink Holiday Tag: Elegant Ornaments set from the gold foil (can't wait to play with the ornaments in this set). I layered the gold sentiment on a white layer and then glued to a Real Red panel embossed with Altenew Moroccan Tile EF (also new). I swiped white ink over the embossing before gluing the elements on. I added this panel to a scalloped black mat cut with MFT Blueprints 20 die, and then glued to a white card base. I am really loving this card and may make a couple more since I am not quite done with my Christmas cards this year.

I will also add this to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time using the EF and the sentiment die.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping

Your white poinsettia is pretty JoAnn and I'm in love with your embossed background!

Shaping the leaves gave your beautiful poinsettia a more realistic feel, JoAnn, and it pops against the red embossed background. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful and elegant.
ReplyDeleteIt's a must have for my holiday cards, too, JoAnn and your gorgeous white Poinsettia is so lovely against that deep red!
