Hello and Happy Friday, everyone! It’s TaeEun here today with a trio of holiday cards featuring the Poinsettia Frame product suite. I colored the Poinsettia Frame using three different coloring media: colored pencils, ink pads, and watercolor. The beautiful large poinsettias in the stamp set invite you to color them :) !

After finishing the coloring, I cut the Poinsettia Frame using the coordinating die. 

To create the background for this card, I pressed the front of a light beige cardbase using the Diagonal Plaid Press Plate and Peony ink. I foam mounted the Poinsettia Frame onto the cardbase. The sentiment is from the Magical Holiday Press Plate, which I hot foiled in gold. 
To finish, I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls and Scarlet Clear Drops to the central area of the card. 

The second card is showing the Poinsettia Frame stenciled using the coordinating stencil set. 

First, I heat embossed the image in Liquid Platinum and stenciled the three layers of the poinsettias in two tones - blue and purple - using Sky Blue, Summer Shower, Seaside, Soft Lilac, Lavender and Regal Kiss. For the berries, I used Opulence and Lavender, and for the leaves Sage, Eucalyptus, and Spruce Tips. The leaves are in two layers. I combined the three green ink colors differently to achieve varying shades of darkness for the leaves. 
The stenciled image was then die cut using the coordinating die. 

For this card, I chose a light blue cardbase, the front of which I cut using the Hexagon Tiles coverplate die. To soften the color of the cardbase I ink blended the central part in Calico White. 

Next I foam mounted the Poinsettia Frame onto the cardbase.
The sentiment, from the Holiday Greetings Sentiments Press Plate, was pressed in Seaside, die cut with the coordinating die, and added to the card using foam tape.  A few Iridescent Clear Drops were my finishing touch for this card. 

The Poinsettia Frame on the last card was watercolored.

I stamped the image in Peach Fuzz on watercolor paper and then colored it, working in several layers to achieve a detailed look. 

Lastly, I scattered a few Ballet Slipper Jewels, and the card was complete. 

That’s it from me for today! I hope you enjoyed looking at my cards ! The absolute time-saver is the layering stencil set, which took me less than 30 minutes to color the image. Coloring with the other coloring media took much, much more time, but the joy and the calming process of coloring are priceless! 

Thank you!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
