Brace yourselves... this one might be a little busy. Well, the hubs thinks so! Maybe it's my Robitussin buzz! But you know, I think I kind of like it. He didn't care for the patterned poinsettias, but I think they're fun! I'll let you all be the judge. I put this one together for The Flower Challenge using The Color Hues Challenge colors of teal and silver.
I couldn't let the season go by without using my favorite Waffle Flower poinsettias. I cut them from some old October Afternoon paper, layered each one up then added silver rhinestones to their centers. I used pretty silver cardstock from The Stamp Market for my Altenew sentiment as well as the little Simply Graphic pine sprigs. A postal frame borders the embossed pine in the background.
Oh, my! It might seem busy to you, but it's amazing to me! I love the patterned poinsettias. Maybe that's a crafter thing to love the unexpected. My husband doesn't know the subtle difference between reds and pinks. Fabulous with the silver foliage and embossed background. Really beautiful, Lisa!

So many of the poinsettias have patterned or splotched petals, Lisa! These remind me of them and I think they're very pretty, and especially in teal! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteFun poinsettias! Great Card
ReplyDeleteBusy, yes -- too busy. NO! I love your blooms in that gorgeous teal and the WF poinsettia are a fave here too. You rock those poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteWhat does he know, really? LOL. I LOVE your patterned poinsettias so very much! A matter of fact the entire card is just perfect! You have the colors balanced so well. Thanks for joining along at Color Hues! I am tickled to see you in the gallery!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, the poinsettias are definitely fun. Love these colors together.
ReplyDeleteFabulous patterned poinsettias, Lisa - so much texture and visual interest (sorry hubs!)!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, Lisa! The poinsettias are so fun and unique. Perfect take on the Color Hues combo.
ReplyDeleteLisa, the hubs is wrong on this one. This is simply gorgeous! I love the non-traditional colors you used!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fairly clean cardmaker - but I really like these! They are busy but everything else is basic so your beautiful poinsettias work!!
ReplyDeleteI guess busy is in the eye of the beholder, Lisa. Using the patterned paper for your poinsettias really makes them pop and are a nice change from the usual colors used for them (says someone that almost always uses red or pink lol!). It's a beautiful design, especially layered on the postal edge in teal. Thank you so much for joining in at The Flower Challenge and over a Color Hues! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLisa I love your multicoloured poinsettias, so beautiful! I love the addition of the silver rhinestones! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
