Hello friends! I'm here today sharing my reminder card for The Flower Challenge, where this month we are featuring the color pink.
Earlier this month my card for TFC was a bold vibrant pink birthday card. This time I took the opportunity to add to my stash of Christmas cards.
A couple of months ago I purchased this beautiful poinsettia Betterpress, intending to use it for 2024 Christmas cards, but it never got inked up. So I thought it would be fun to make a card with pink poinsettias. I was in somewhat of a hurry to get this card done, so after inking it up in black pigment ink, I clear heat embossed it, then used the stencils to color the images.
The panel was trimmed down and splattered with a bit of white paint, then added to the silver panel after drying. The sentiment is from an old package of foiled holiday sentiments, which was popped up on foam tape over the foiled strip. It was quite easy to make, so I made a second one only using red rather than pink.
If you haven't yet had a chance to join us this month, why not take a moment to pop over to the challenge for more inspiration from the design team, then head on into your craft room! We'd love to see your card (or a 2nd card!) in the gallery. The challenge remains open until 2/25.
Thanks for stopping by and take care!

This is so gorgeous, Stef! I love it in pink and also in red and it would be lovely in any color, me thinks! I love the black background. Very dramatic!
Absolutely beautiful in pink Stef! Such a dramatic card and it sure doesn't look like you rushed through it!! Lovely, lovely my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I made a number of cards using this set for Christmas but don't think I ever posted any of them. Yours look fantastic in either color, Stef.
