A couple of cards today using a poinsettia stencil and a poinsettia die cut (and a poinsettia sentiment).
I created the background with a poinsettia stencil and various red and pink Distress inks, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in copper. I set it behind a pierced die cut frame and added two small die cut poinsettias and copper stickles in the centres of the die cut and stencilled poinsettias for embellishment.
The second one uses stencilling inside stencilling. See this tutorial on SCS for instructions.
I used red and pink Distress inks again through the same poinsettia stencil, dried the ink with my heat tool, then put the poinsettia stencil back in place and laid a star stencil over top of it and used an orange ink through the star stencil.
Trimmed the panel, bordered with a gold panel, then a white panel, and added it to a gold card base. I added the "joy" die on top of its accompanying shadow die and embellished the centres of the poinsettias with tiny gold stick-on dots.
