Poinsettia Embossing Folder

Hi everyone.  I've had a play with the Tim Holtz 3D Poinsettia Embossing Folder ... this time embossing on red foil card stock.  I love the look of the elegant foil but the flowers did seem to get lost.  I used a silver pilot pen (permanent ink) to outline the embossed images and it made a huge difference. :)

I adhered my card front onto a card base and stamped the sentiment in silver on the inside of the card.

* * * * *
I decided to make another ... this time the embossing got crinkled on the outside edges, so I trimmed down my panel before outlining the same as above.  Then adhered my card front to my card base, and stamping the sentiment on the inside.

Two very quick and easy cards. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love your QACAS design, Lolly! It comes with HUGE impact! Now if I'm smart, I am going to stop what I'm doing and make a few of these for next year with my still-NBUS (!) 3D Christmas e/fs! Thank you for the inspiration, as always! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Dolly

Wow! This is so elegant, Lolly! I love how the silver outline makes these gorgeous poinsettias stand out. Very creative and you sure have a steady hand!

These embossed poinsettias are gorgeous using the red foil card Loll, and outlining with the silver pen brings them to life brilliantly. Both versions look wonderful. x

The silver outline was a grand idea! Your poinsettias are marvelous!

Beautiful! The silver pen to outline it was a brilliant idea. Love the rich red of the foil.

Nice Job Loll. Sometimes you have to think outside of the box and add your own surprises, which turned out great with the silver edging. 💜

Both your 3D dry embossed poinsettia Christmas cards are Stunning, Lolly. Love how you added the silver pen tracing to make the poinsettias pop. I especially like the white border for the 2nd card. This card design maybe one of my 1st 2023 Christmas card designs, my friend. TFS and always inspiring me. Happy Holidays to you and all the family. Love and Hugs..Nancy
