Well, my friends, if you haven't completed your Christmas cards by now this could be your wakeup call! lol
The Flower Challenge's December challenge is always about those lovely Christmas blooms - and that always comes down to Poinsettias for me - by now you know how much I love them. Nothing new in my stash but I often go to this lovely, layered Poinsettia die set from HoneyBee - always fresh, and beautiful!
I've cut the layers from creamy white and added a few neutral
die-cut leaves and branches from several HoneyBee and Spellbinders' sets.
That gorgeous woodgrain is Simon Hurley for Spellbinder: Bark.
A platinum heat-embossed sentiment from
Pinkfresh Studios: Holiday Large Sentiments completes my design.
Now for some sad news. December is our final month for The Flower Challenge. Please know that this wasn't an easy decision to make. Don't even think we haven't loved every moment/card/team member and lovely floral card you have all shared with us over the years! Beyond that, I cannot thank YOU ALL enough for the love and support you've given me personally in your kind comments!
We'll each have one more reminder card for you on the 15th. Until then, I look forward to all the cards I just know you all will add to our gallery this month! Let's go out with a bang, shall we?

Michele, your creamy, dreamy poinsettia card is so beautiful. I always think flowers and any kind of woodgrain are perfect together. The Bark embossing is fabulous! Now, I think my heart just broke a little at having lost this lovely challenge that gives you a month to play along. However, I realize it's a lot of work to manage, and people have lives.
Your creamy white poinsettia is beautiful Michele. Love the embossed background too. A gorgeous card. You are right, poinsettias are the perfect Christmas flower. So sad to see TFC leaving. Thanks for all your inspiration.
