Today, I want to thank a friend for the inspiration she gives me. What better time to do it than on Thanksgiving Eve?
TaeEun Yoo is a teammate at The Flower Challenge and is, in my eyes, an artist. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a good long visit to her blog - Rainbow in November with your second piece of pie tomorrow! In particular the work she does for The Ton which caused a little shopping for my birthday this year!
Another Poinsettia for my growing collection...
In shades of deep orange-y red:
I've used barely a whisper of grey ink for that first layer of three -
mostly along the edges. I also added a bit of shadow in grey in the background
with a stencil from The Greetery - it was easy peasy to fussy cut!
Another in a few more shades of peach-y orange:
Using the first layer last allowed me to spritz the leftover ink to
smoosh along the edges, before adding some scripty gold ink, and
embossing it with that 'subtle texture' from SU!
Last one - in shades of salmon pink:
By now you may have noticed that I treated myself to that
fabulous stamp once/cut once Easy Expressions - Holidays set from The Ton, too.
Thanks, TaeEun for sharing my dream of being neighbors! It's fun to dream!
I'm thankful to all of you for stopping in today! If you're traveling be careful, and safe! I have another inspired card tomorrow!

Ahhh, so pretty! Unusual poinsettia colors but nowadays, they come in any color! And these are GORGEOUS colors for sure. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite! I will have to check out her art work too!
ReplyDeleteElle est splendide!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty, Michele. Do you love real poinsettias as well?
ReplyDeletePerfect showcase of these beauties my friend... and do I see a smooshed panel, that would have been easier than trying to blend on foam squares (wink) AND I'd love to know what those Stamp Market inks are like? Loving the colours!
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are absolutely GORGEOUS Michele, but the 1st one is my favorite with those amazing bold hues...I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor!! A beautiful tribute to TaeEun!!! Hugs. 😊🧡🧡🧡
ReplyDeleteYou are a good shopper and a fabulous artist! Always inspired by my visits here! Now to check out your friend and new-to-me designer!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! I do follow her blog and agree she is an artist. I would say you are also an artist and people should study your blog in the same way. Thank you for creating and sharing what you create. You make the world a bit brighter and more beautiful! Hugs!
ReplyDeletewowza, those are some gorgeous poinsettias.

ReplyDeleteOh my, these poinsettia cards are gorgeous in this color combo Michele! They are blooming right off the cards! I love them all, so pretty, so Christmassy! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteIn love with all! Such pretty poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteHello, Michele! I'm a little slow after Thanksgiving and all the prep, but glad to be here now to catch up and see these drop dead gorgeous cards! Another beautiful poinsettia for your collection. It's a stunner and your cards do it justice. The background on your second card is as beautiful as the flower. I love all the colors! TaeEun Yoo is indeed an artist, and so are you!
ReplyDeleteThese three poinsettia cards are gorgeous, Michle! Love the design variations - both the poinsettias and the backgrounds!

TaeEun's work always makes me swoon. You are quite the artist yourself, my friend. These are all jaw droppers, but the first one has my heart. I love the bold colors and that lovely subtle background. That is one gorgeous poinsettia, though you make them all ready for the red carpet. Fabulous designs and colors.
