I have a lot to share tonight. First up I have the my Festive Flourishes card. The Flourishes Blog team has Festive Flourishes challenges this month. This week we are making cards that are mostly white. I used white ink on the vellum and stamped the Poinsettia stamp from Flourishes. I used Sahara Sand ink for the words and the white Poinsettia. The words are Justright Times New Roman font. It's been raining her for several days so the pictures are bad. I will try to retake them in the morning if the sun comes out:)
This first picture is so you can see the words a little better. On the upright picture the words look spotty but they aren't IRL:)
Here's the full card

Today is the last day of Sharon's party! What a great time was had by all!! Today we are back to our regular SSNOTIME challenge. This week we are to make a card using only a 2" piece of designer parper. You can read the full details here.
This card is another one of my Quick & Easy Christmas cards! You know for the people who don't appreciate a handmade card:) I still want to make a beautiful card since my name is on it, but noway will I spend all day making it when I know it will be in the trash soon after Christmas. YKWIM!
I also did the Blogger's Challenge this week we are to make a card with Christmas decorations or ornaments. My ornament is from the All that Glitters set by Flourishes. You can see all the other blogger's challenge card by clicking the logo on my sidebar:)
This is just lovely Dee!! I love that stamp from Paper Inspirations. Gorgeous...
Have a great weekend.

I love your white poinsettia card. I keep working with that stamp and trying to do it justice, I think you did that for me. Pat

Both cards are gorgeous, Dee! I love the popped up ornament on the second one, but I LOVE the white ink on the vellum on the first one! (And those are always difficult to photograph.)
