Second post today - see my Sweet Stampin' Challenge post - HERE
*************************************************************************************
I've been having a ball the last few days, getting back into my craft room and having a good old play!
I have made around 6 cards in the last week... but today I'm sharing my entry into the Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Positively Poinsettias
I was looking through my stencils for another card and saw my Waffle Flower Layering Poinsettia Duo and decided it was time to make a start on my Christmas cards. First for 2025!
Using this stencil certainly makes a quick card. I started with white card and the first stencil - the leaves, dots, stars etc. I used some Altenew Fresh Dye ink - Eucalyptus. I added some Lunar Paste (Slippy when wet) with my finger over the stars. Once it dried, I added the second stencil and Altenew's Burnt Red ink for the flowers. I used the scalloped die from Gina K Master Layout 4 and added to a white cards base. I stamped a sentiment from Kaisercraft - Christmas Quotes stamp set and die cut with a circle die from Gina K Master Layout 4 and its matting layer in red card. Added a few little die cut stars.

Very nice!! I like how you staged your photo too!
Stunning card! LOVE the inked edges, really brings the drama and the focus to the centre xoxo
That stencil is great for making multiples and I have done just that but thanks for the idea to add paste to the stars, Dawn. The white border makes the white circle sentiment cohesive and the inking around the edge gives a more muted look. Thanks for sharing your card with Jo and me at Christmas Kickstart.
Love the colors you used for your stenciled poinsettias, Dawn!!
Absolutely beautiful card, Dawn!
Oooooooooooooo, not seen this stencil before, Dawn. What a beauty. Your card is gorgeous! Thanks for joining Bobby and me at Christmas Kickstart! Jo x
