When I first saw Chris' colors this week I was hard pressed on what to create. So I went with Christmas!
I actually didn't stamp anything. But I did use ink to shade the poinsettia - Flirty flamingo in the center and just a touch of Terracotta Tile around the edges. I also "antiqued" the embossed background with Soft Suede. The Gold Specialty sheets seemed to work very well with the flower and I got dessert in by adding my new favorite embellishment - a gold hoop! (I really thought those were odd items for SU to add when I first saw them - but I LOVE them now!)

Great thought in the 'anything round' with the gold hoop, you've incorporated it nicely in your arrangement and poinsettia. Great Christmas card, love the nontraditional colors! TFS

This is awesome. I am busy thinking about Christmas this week and have started making a few for a friend who has asked me to make hers this year. Now that I am fully retired this year, I will have lots of time to give it. LOL Before the pandemic, retirees were asked to do all kinds of extra things at church, etc. but now that we are the more "at risk" it is easier to say no without feeling guilty. Sitting in my PJs making cards can now be an option I have!!!

Jeanne, you can never go wrong with Christmas! I love the way you've arranged the leaves behind the beautiful poinsettia. The gold hoop amps up the classiness.
