Hi Everyone, it's the middle (or should I say Ides 😏) of March and time to add some more cards to your Christmas stash. Don't forget CAS Christmas is celebrating it's third Birthday and if you play along you may win a prize.
For my card I used a stencil and outlined it in White Signo gel pen on Kraft card. I used a pencil to colour the poinsettia and then put a layer of Wink of Stella for a little shimmer.
I stamped the sentiment in Red (Tulip) Versafine Claire and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder.

How clever are you?!! Inspired idea with the stencil Christine - a wonderful card! x
That's a lot of careful coloring Christine with such a great result. The outline in white gives them great definition against the Kraft. Xx
Lovely, colored poinsettias Christine. Pretty card with the outlines in white.
Loving all those beautifully outlined Poinsettia's Christine, and your coloring on them is perfect too! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
LOVE these gorgeous poinsettia, Christine. Outlining them in white really makes them pop off the kraft card front. Gorgeous with the shimmer and shine! xx
Great way to get more use out of your stencil! Love the white outline and the shimmery red.
You always add a technique to your cards that I’d have never thought of in a million years. The white pen outline looks fabulous on kraft with red coloring and so perfect for this challenge. I am in awe that you got a signo white pen to trace without skipping. I bought many of them and they seem to skip or dry out as soon as I get them home. Beautiful card.
Simply beautiful Christine!
What a fabulous idea and the prettiest of results....Wonderful card Christine x.
A very impressive CAS card. A great idea for filling the stencil with a colored pencil. Adding a little bit of gloss makes the card very elegant.

Beautiful Christmas card, Christine! I love how you outlined the Poinsettia's in white and that you added shine to the sentiment with clear embossing powder...I think it looks amazing with the Kraft background! xx
Beautiful card and pencil colouring. Clever way to incorporate more white by outlining it with a white pen,
What a brilliant idea to outline the flowers in white. It works so well with the kraft card. simple and beautiful xx
These poinsettias are so pretty, Christine! I love the white outline with that brilliant red!
Outlining in white really made these stand out. A beautiful card with lots of shine.
Outlining the flowers with a white gel pen is another one of your brilliantly creative ideas! Love this, Christine!
This is fabulous, Christine! Outlining the pencil colored poinsettias with a white gel pen & a stencil is a fresh idea (to me). It turned out so beautifully. The shimmer of the flowers is pretty too!

Beautiful effect with the white outlining of the stenciled flowers, Christine!!
Such a simple little trick like outlining the stamped images in white took this card to a whole new level of beauty! Gorgeous CAS card!
Christine, what an awesome poinsettia stencil! What a great idea to use a signo pen to outline the image! It really makes it pop! Beautiful card!
