Happy Tuesday, all! I have a Christmas card for you today, it fulfillls three challenges: CAS on Sunday wants flowers; Sunday Stamps has a sketch; and 52 Christmas Card Throwdown wants stenciling:
I will admit that there is only a wee bit of stenciling on my card, but it IS there! So here we go:
I wanted to use a poinsettia on my card, but in a non-traditional color! I already had this Blushing Bride scalloped piece diecut in my stash, so I pulled out some Barely Blush cardstock, which coordinates with it nicely, and diecut some poinsettia petals, along with the leaves (Soft Sea Foam) and a center (Lemon Lolly). I sponged the edges and crimped the petals (remember your CRIMPER?) before assembling on to the scalloped piece, on which I stenciled a few polka dots with an Echo Park stencil and a blending brush:
My outside sentiment was from Simon Says Stamp, stamped and diecut into a little banner tag:
And the inside sentiment is from Taylored Expressions. I don't use Very Vanilla too often, so it was a nice change from the white!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
