Marbled poinsettia

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have a card for a few challenges that are celebrating this month: Less is More is celebrating its 6th birthday, while Winnie & Walter is celebrating its 3rd birthday.


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).

Challenges:
Less is More - #314 Use 3 adjacent colours




W&W 3rd Birthday Bash - Stencil challenge with Kelly


ATSM - #228 Holiday


Merry Monday - #234 Clean and simple

  2. 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 :)

  4. 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!
