When I saw this week's color challenge at TGIF Challenges, I immediately thought the combination would be a pretty alternate color combination for Christmas. How about poinsettias in Blushing Bride?
This card really sparkles in person! I used the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (#153475) and the Poinsettia dies (#153522) to create the card. These two products are also available as the Poinsettia Petals bundle (#155148) at 10% off. I am almost a Christmas baby, so I am partial to poinsettias and I absolutely love this beautiful bundle.
The poinsettias were stamped in Soft Suede onto Shimmery White card stock (#101910), then heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder (#109130). The petals were watercolored using Blushing Bride ink and the center in Pear Pizzazz. I amped up the shimmer with a little Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892) in the center of each poinsettia. Once the shimmery Crystal Effects dried, I die cut the poinsettias.
The background was created by randomly stamping the pine bough image in Pear Pizzazz and the berry branch centers image in Blushing Bride, stamped off once. The greeting was stamped in Soft Suede on to Shimmery White card stock and die cut with a Rectangle Stitched die (#148551). A Soft Suede card base, Blushing Bride layer and a bow tied with the Old Olive ribbon in the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack (#152479) complete the card.
There are some beautiful cards using the color combo over at the TGIF Challenges Blog here.
