Today I am sharing with you my "Think Pink" card for Classy Cards 'n Such challenge in honor of Cancer Awareness Month. I went with a pink and silver Christmas Card. I die cut the Small Blooming Poinsettia by Poppy Stamps several times on watercolor paper. Then I did a pink wash on each flower layer, curled it with my stylus, and then built it. For the center stamens, I used silver detail embossing powder so that it would match my sentiment. For the leaves, I placed the same silvery washi tape from my border on my watercolor paper before die-cutting. I like to have the materials repeated somewhere on the card to tie it together. It was all a little too plain until I decided on adding the Amira Flourish from Memory Box to ground my poinsettias. After die cutting it from the Pucker Me Pink Craft Metal Sheet, I cut the flourish in half and adhered the halves at right angles. Finally, I brushed some extra shimmer on with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. Thank you so much for looking!

I am really liking this trend away from the traditional red and green Christmas cards. Yours is a great example of how a card can convey a feeing of Christmas without using any of the typical colors at all. I love the hot pink flourishes, and your poinsettias are simply lovely!
