Festive Poinsettias

 Yana has another gorgeous release at Spellbinders today!  And she's made us another BetterPress plate with matching stencils for the holidays - Festive Poinsettias!  I have 3 cards today.


supplies: white and plum cardstock, Festive Poinsettias Better Press plate and Stencil Bundle, Black glimmer hot foil, Altenew Cherry Blossom, Green Fields, and Rocky Shores inks, blending brushes, Home for Christmas Sentiment/die

The foil plate measures 4 3/4" X 5 3/4", so after foiling it in Black, I matted it on a plum paper, and then onto a 5 X 7 card that I cut down a bit in length.  Yana's new Home for Christmas Sentiments press plates/dies have some wonderful sentiments that will work perfectly on these gorgeous backgrounds.

Next I foiled the design in Matte Gold and cut it down to fit onto an A2 card, changing up the colors to aquas.


supplies: white and Surf Blue cardstock, Festive Poinsettias press plate/stencil bundle, Matte Gold glimmer hot foil, Altenew Sweet Dreams, Green Valley, and Dark Chocolate inks, sentiment from this month's Glimmer kit, Festive Lights

I really like this color combination.

Here's a third version, done in reds against a black background.


supplies: white and red cardstock, Festive Poinsettia Press Plate/Stencil bundle, Black glimmer hot foil, Altenew Red Sunset, Green Valley, Maple Yellow, and vintage photo distress ink,  Home for Christmas Sentiment Press Plate/die, Matte Gold glimmer hot foil

You can see that this landscape version works just as nicely as the portrait one.

I hope you'll come back again in a few days to see another of Yana's designs from her newest release, called the Amaryllis Christmas Collection.
