For my card, I used one of the shaving cream panels I had created previously, stamped the poinsettia (In Bloom: Elsa's Florals, Winnie & Walter) onto my panel in black Archival ink, fussy cut the image and went around it with a black marker. I cut my panel using one of my new dies (Essentials: Noelle Cutaways, W&W) and used a stencil (Pattern of the Rings, W&W) and a Clarity brush to pull in a little more pink for my orange, red and pink colour scheme. I used my pink brush, which still had some ink on it from a previous project. The sentiment is from another stamp set by W&W (Frenchy's Festive Florals). I adhered my panel onto a red card (SSS lipstick red cardstock) and foam-mounted my poinsettia. To finish off, I added a little white detail to the flower heart using a white gel pen and adhered a few clear sequins (Pretty Pink Posh).

This is so pretty. I love the colours and the scalloped panel. The super subtle stencilling is just beautiful.

What a gorgeous card, Marianne! The pop of red round the border perfectly sets off that eye catching flower, and the subtle stencilling in the background is a lovely touch. Really awesome result! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

Such wonderful hues of red! And the sequins feel like snowflakes. Or maybe that's just me... because I woke up to a snowy white cityscape this morning :) Anyhow, gorgeous card!
