Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I do love these 3D embossing folders!
I also love poinsettias.
I swiped the inside of this elegant embossing folder from Altenew with a baby wipe
to get a good deep embossing.
Then some light swipes of a sponge dauber with white ink made for a quick design
I dabbed at the center dots with my WOW embossing pen and heat embossed in silver.
Then I did the same thing with a Sizzix embossing folder.
Two more for the stash!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
These are so pretty in pink. That is a big poinsettia on the first one but still pretty. I love the second one. I like how you did the silver embossing in the centers and also used the white ink to make them pop. The silver mats are perfect with the pink. TFS
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Bonnie. Love the pink and the poinsettias.

WOW!! These are both absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie...I love them in the soft pink!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the simplicity of these two embossed cards Bonnie! They are stunning and so elegant looking! Really love the poinsettias! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, Bonnie. I love the soft, fuzzy look you achieved with the white ink. I really need to pull out some of my embossing folders. They seem to be collecting dust here.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, thanks for the tips xx
ReplyDeleteThese folders and your cards really are gorgeous! I love the pink with the delicate touch of white. My favorite look for embossing. I need to do something different with my cards next year... maybe this is it. I appreciate your tip about the baby wipe. I tried it and it does help. Your cards are divinely elegant, but at the same time sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe depth from the embossing on both these cards is amazing. Adding the white sponging really gives them even more depth and brings the flowers to life. Great work, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous! I like the pink poinsettia and pink and silver go so well together. I need to get going on Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteThe pink is so fresh and pretty Bonnie. Love both cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous looks Bonnie and the 3D EF's are both so pretty, and I love the pretty pink colour with the silver centres, matted layer and silver embossed sentiments on both. x
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous pink poinsettias!! Love the texture you got from those 3D folders and the way you heat embossed the centres!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards - the embossing looks fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing at the ABC Christmas Challenge!

Both cards are lovely. The soft white looks beautiful on the pink and the centers just shine.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, and I adore the pink you've used!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, Bonnie. I have the TH folder so I saved this idea for next year's cards.
ReplyDeleteLove your 2 dry embossed pink poinsettia Christmas cards, Bonnie. TFS your detailed description of both your beauties, my friend. You have me inspired..as always:-) TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow - stunning in pink, Bonnie - especially love them with the silver frames!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThey may have been quick to make Bonnie but they are amazing - those embossing folders are so effective, especially when the embossing is highlighted as you did.

What beautiful poinsettias! I hadn't heard of using baby wipes on embossing folders before, but your card is gorgeous, so I might have to try it. Thank you for sharing it and playing along with ABC Christmas Challenge ~ Wendy
ReplyDeleteYour 3D embossed pink poinsettias are so pretty! I have the Sizzux one and can’t wait to use it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effect with the 3D embossing folder and love the non-traditional pink.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your cards Bonnie! While they may have been quick and easy to make, they sure don't look it with their elegance and sparkle! So glad you took Michele's advice and shared with us at The Flower Challenge!
