Hello, Friends! Welcome!
Yep, I went there... I figure if your Birthday is today, the 17th, then a poinsettia might be a great choice! While I have made a card from this stencil before, it was one I used at Michele's last year. Somehow it ended up in my basket this year!
Originally at Michele's, I ink blended both stencils, the poinsettia petals and centers on one, with the leaves and background designs on the second stencil. This time, on the first stencil after coloring, I added pearl paste over the centers and sparkle paste on the background designs (flakes and dots). I love how the pearl allowed the color to show through, and the sparkle added a bit more bling. A sentiment frame was cut from vellum, and then the foiled/cut sentiment was added on top.
I love the subtle shimmer and foiling and I think my MIL will love it too!
This card will go to NBUS #81 for the new-to-me stencil, to the Flower Challenge's final challenge (so sad, but thankful for the fun while it lasted!), and Color Hues #123 - Pink & Green; plus I know it isn't a Christmas card but it does feature a Christmas flower, Christmas Kickstart #105 - Christmas-y.
Supplies:
WF - Layered Poinsettia stencil
PTI - Delightful Brackets
Splb - You Are Everything pp/dies
Wishing the HAPPIEST of Birthdays for my beautiful MIL!
Hugs,
TK

Beautiful stencil work and I love the soft colors! That’s a gorgeous design!
I like the soft touch you used with your stenciling, TK and the vellum label under the sentiment! This is beautiful!
It makes a beautiful birthday card, TK, especially with the pearl and sparkle pastes. I didn't even get out that stencil this year. I need to start making a list of all the stamps/dies/stencils that lay forgotten.
What a beautiful card. Your soft inking really made it look very elegant.
What a beautiful way to celebrate a December birthday, TK! Such pretty poinsettias and I love the added texture and sparkle! Thanks for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
I have this stencil too TK, but don't think I used it this year...gasp!! Your card is beautiful though in the pinks and greens and I'm loving the pearl and sparkle pastes you added too! And WOW...4 challenges! Way to go girl!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at both The Flower Challenge and the Color Hues Challenge and making our galleries SHINE!! Hugs. :0)
I love the glimmer and sparkle you've added with those layers, TK! Perfectly wonderful for a December birthday without being on the Christmas-y side!
Thanks so much for being such a good friend to The Flower Challenge - and to me!

Truly a wonderful, seasonal birthday card! It's beautifully stenciled and the shimmer from the pearl paste must be gorgeous IRL. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Such a pretty card, and I love your colour palette. Thanks for playing at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
Lovely poinsettias and card, TK! Thanks for sharing this with us at Color Hues and Merry Merry to you!
With the soft stenciling in pink and green this card is perfect for both Christmas and birthday, TK! It is so pretty.
This is absolutely lovely. I adore the soft colors and the vellum overlay is the perfect touch. Thanks so much for playing with us at Color Hues and Happy 2026!
