JustRite's Friday Challenge (ending tomorrow 6PM CDT) requires us to use non-traditional colors -- 'the majority of your project must contain NO RED or BURGUNDY'. I always enjoy this challenge sooo much because I have a few 'special' cards I hand deliver each year and this card/matching envelope will be one, so I had fun making/decorating my envelope too.
Using Spellbinders' Layered Poinsettia dies, I cut my poinsettia flower petal layers/leaf using lusciously-thick Curious 'Nude' CS (a lovely gift from my sweet friend, Marilyn). Next, I stamped JustRite's Festive Poinsettia clear stamps using VersaMark ink and embossed with Squash Blossom EP. For my leaf, I stamped/embossed a sentiment from the same set and detail embossed the leaf's edges. I nestled it under the flower and mounted all onto Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles -- LOVE that die! Sheer ribbon bow and gems finish off the card.
My A2 envelope is cut from the same CS and lined w/the coordinating metallic paper, using We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. Since it won't be mailed, I die cut/embossed a poinsettia leaf on the flap and added gems for a little sneaky peek of what's inside before it's opened -- LOVE doing that for a few special cards!

Geez...feel free to hand deliver this card and envelope to me! :)
The pair is beautiful! I would not only display the card but also the envelope! The metallic is stunning!
Have a good one! Hugs.
Marge love what you have done with the non-traditional challenge. (and you even got it on a day early :) ) Very pretty.
Yowsa, Marge! This is one gorgeous card! LOVE the colors and the cool layout. ♥ Hope you guys are doing well!
Beautiful card Marge. I like that metallic paper with the brown. I LOVE what you did on the envelope. How did you get the embossed poinsettia?
WOWEE - This is one gorgeous card and envelope ensemble!! Love how you did the envelope flap!
So Pretty Marge! Love the colors and the envelope!
I don't believe it!!! I don't know who is in whose head, but it's getting weird. I decided last week on aqua(I have witnesses), but I misplaced my SB die, and didn't find it until this afternoon. Thank heaven I didn't plan on the circles again, but I did buy a ribbon rather like yours, so relieved I didn't use it.
Your card is fabulous! Love the colour! ;D Love the poinsettia die! ;D I'm so glad you used the Majesty Circles, I felt bad that you felt it necessary to change your plan last time.
Your envelope is AMAZING ! What a gorgeous set and outstanding design. Can I borrow that envelope idea? I just adore it!
