Season's Poinsettias

 Hello, Friends, I'm so glad you stopped by!

My card today is for a trio of challenges, and I must make haste in getting it posted!  This will go to FMS#507 for the sketch, TCH#28 for the colors, and TFC#61 (Happy 5th Birthday) using a shape ~


Sketch?  Check.  Kraft and red?  Check.  Flower?  Check!
I used a poinsettia die, cutting twice with silver and red, then swapped the leaves.  The red was a thinner cs, so it doesn't really show the embossing by the dies.  On the second cut, I trimmed off the inner part of the poinsettia, and that's the smaller flower you see in the bottom left -- NOW you can see that glorious embossing!  I popped up a heat embossed sentiment using WOW rouge to match the cs.  Here's a close up ~


Supplies:
   SSS - Holiday Poinsettia die
   PTI - Let It Snow (sentiment)




Well that's it for me!  I hope you have a wonderful week -- see you all soon!

Hugs,
TK

Great combination of challenges and one classy and elegant card. What a striking design and loving the texture from the embossing TK, which you can see on the poinsettia x.

I love your mix of poinsettias with the change between silver and red! They pop beautifully on the kraft. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Very nicely done, I was drawn to the big red poinsettia as the silver makes it look like lead piping, its so effective. Lovely traditional Christmas card x
