Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month so there's lots of pink cards out there.
I pulled out a stencil that had been in my collection for a long time, but I'm
not sure that I ever used it. I love it though and it makes lovely poinsettias.
I masked off the leaves with some low tack tape while I stenciled the flowers,
then moved the tap to the flowers to stencil the leaves. I missed a spot in the middle
so I added a few more leaves there and it was a good place for a die cut.
I have an embossing folder that is a near perfect match so I added an
embossed background and die cut and framed the flowers.
The gals at Jingle Belles are donating $2.00 each for every entry in this challenge.
They've been doing this every year and I know it is helping to make great strides in the
treatment of breast cancer. My Mom had breast cancer in 1968 and I am so thankful that
there are better and more successful treatments for breast cancer now.
Thank you Belles!

I adore pink at Christmas and so I'm happy to see these deep pink poinsettias, Bonnie - what a gorgeous stencil for a gorgeous card!

Very pretty stencil and love the way you framed it out too. The embossing folder is so lovely with the poinsettias.

So pretty Bonnie and thanks for the heads up about the jingle Belles breast cancer challenge. Definitely one to join in with! Vicky x
Such pretty pink poinsettias and they are framed beautifully. Love everything about your card. TFS
Oh I love this card Bonnie! Yes, this is the month for pink! And your poinsettia's look amazing, loving that stencil. The gold joy looks to pretty in the center too as does the dry embossing folder you used. Very festive! And how about the gals at Jingle Belles for donating $2 for each entry?!! That is amazing! Treatments have come a long way since your mother had to fight breast cancer, but sadly there are still those who lose their lives to it. Which just stinks, cancer stinks! Hugs, Brenda
Gorgeous pink poinsettias, Bonnie, and I love how you've framed them with the embossed panel!
I love every fabulous detail on this beautiful card, Bonnie!
I had a real pink Poinsettia in my house last Christmas and it didn't match anything, but I absolutely LOVED it, and I'm loving your beautifully stenciled pink Poinsettia's too Bonnie! Love how you framed it and the white embossed card base too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Absolutely gorgeous poinsettia Bonnie. Well done masking all those little holly leaves and adding the colours. Stunning card ♥
Beautifully stenciled poinsettias, Bonnie and I love how you used your 3D Embossed poinsettias for your background. TFS your beauty, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
What a beautiful poinsettia card! Wonderful stencilling and a perfect embossed background!
Such a beautiful card Bonnie - loving the deep pink poinsettias! The gold sentiment is the perfect finish to your stencilled panel.
I hear you about the breast cancer treatments - although my daughter didn't do too well on the drug she was given. With the stats being as low as they are for a reoccurrence of her cancer after a mastectomy, 2.7%, she has chosen to go off them and live, not just drag herself through life as was happening.

I LOVE that stencil done in pink, Bonnie. And you are right, it's a perfect match to the embossed background. Gorgeous together! And LOVE the shape of your stenciled panel.
I've played along with the Jingle Belles a few times in the past for this very special Breast Cancer Awareness challenge and hope to again this year. xx
Masking parts of a stencil can be a pain but with lovely results like this it's worth it, Bonnie. I love how you framed out the poinsettias and added them to the embossed background. I didn't know about Jingle Belles. I'll have to check it out.
This is such a great thing the Jingle Belles are doing for breast cancer. Your card is so pretty, Bonnie. I love the embossing folder that goes right along with the stencil and that frame is so cool.
Beautiful 3D embossed and stencilled poinsettias and love the shape of the frame around the pretty coloured stencilled flower layer... brilliantly done Bonnie. x
Gorgeous card Bonnie - your stencilling is fantastic. x
This is gorgeous! The pop of colour in the centre really draws the eye. Thanks so much for joining us at Tic Tac Toe.
I love how you have framed your poinsettias and that embossing folder makes the perfect background xx
You worked your magic with this NBUS stencil. This is gorgeous and a well deserved win at TTTC! Congratulations. 🎉🎉
Love the white embossing behind the lovely framed poinsettia stenciling Bonnie! Your stenciled envelope gives a little clue to the receiver of what they will see inside - So pretty! thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: card and matching envelope! Julia xx

This is lovely, I love how you combined stencilling and embossing on your card, and it's a beautiful envelope too. Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational.
WOW! Such an amazing combination of poinsettias embossed in the background and those applied to the panel using a stencil. This is a truly stunning card, Bonnie
