Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A dear friend shared some of her poinsettia die cuts with me.
I had so much fun playing with them!
First up some metallic watercolor on this fantastic embossed background that the same
dear friend sent. (I think this is my favorite of the bunch!)
Another die cut colored with metallic watercolor.
The entire front is embossed even though it doesn't look like it here.
This time I smooshed the flower layers in watered down Distress ink and placed
it on a die cut background that had been sitting in my stash for ages.
Had to have a red poinsettia! This time I smooshed the layers in Festive Berries
and Candied Apple Distress inks and added some snowy splatters.
Thank you so much, my friend! I have really enjoyed this lovely gift!

Oh my goodness, Bonnie, these are amazing! The embossed backgrounds add just the right amount of texture and the metallic watercolor has wonderful shine. I've been looking for a new poinsettia die and you may have pushed me in the WF direction.
ReplyDeleteOh my, oh my! These are gorgeous and just the right inspiration for a few more cards.
ReplyDeleteYou have filled me up this morning with these spectacular poinsettia cards, Bon! Each one looks alive and real and your designs to showcase them are brilliant! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteFabulous quartet of cards, Bonnie! Those poinsettias look amazing on all the different embossed backgrounds you chose - I can see why you'd love card one with the rich red bg. I think my fave is card three with the starry diamonnd embossing. But all so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie, they are all beautiful designs and with some super colours with the pretty poinsettias over some wonderful embossed and die cut backgrounds. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous set of poinsettia cards. You really made each one unique with the different colors and backgrounds. I love them all but the 3rd one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing these beauties.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poinsettias Bonnie...result of course fabulous designs of cards. Thank you for bringing all your wonderful inspiration to your blog. xx
ReplyDeleteoh those blooms are beautiful. Such fabulous cards, and lucky girl to get the diecuts.
ReplyDeleteLove how you did each poinsettia a different colour and you got beautiful variations of colour within each. And four great card designs!
ReplyDeleteAll four of these are just gorgeous! What a fabulous job you did on those poinsettias and love that you tried them in different colors. I did try my hand at flower forming and was all thumbs. Yours are impeccably done.
ReplyDeleteEach one as pretty as the next, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord Child! Aren't you tired? You are a card making lady!!! I thought my favorite was the first card and then when I got to the 4th card, I knew I was in love. Really gorgeous cards!! Bravo Bonnie -

ReplyDeleteI am stunned by these untasty cards. I love them all, but I like the third one the most. No, the fourth ... no, the first and the second ... I can't choose a favorite, because each one is different, and each has something amazing about it.
