Hello! It's time for a new Timeless Tuesday challenge at the Flourishes blog and today we're joining with the Senior DT to introduce you to the 2nd in this week's 5 NEW Flourishes Christmas releases!
Yesterday they introduced the Trimmed With Love set featuring a gorgeous traditional Christmas tree with all the trimmings. Today we're using the truly classic & beautiful Poinsettia and Pine.
Our challenge today - FTTC186 - is to use a Christmas photo from Pinterest as our inspiration. As I browsed through my Christmas Ideas board on Pinterest, I noticed that most of the photos I had pinned were of simple, nature-inspired settings and decorations. This is the photo I chose as my inspiration today.~
See the simple, traditional, and natural elements with just a touch of sparkle? That's how I decided to make my card today using the new Poinsettia and Pine stamp set.

I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then colored it with my Copic markers. I stamped a second set of the top leaves as well, colored them and popped them up on foam tape, and added a tiny bit of sparkle to the center of the poinsettia.

The sentiment is stamped in Memento Pistachio ink. I added a piece of textured patterned paper, and an embossed kraft panel by stitching it to the ivory base panel.
These are the Copic Collections that I used:
