Hello friends. I am working on getting my Christmas cards done for this year, still have quite a few to go.
I had these two poinsettias from SSS Holiday Sprigs stamped, colored, and die cut and ready to use. I was deciding how I wanted to use them and was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Bette Manning. I embossed a lt. gray background with a die and used the de-bossed side. I then used my white ink and a dobber to ink the raised lines. I just received my MFT order yesterday with the Pretty Poinsettias stamp set and matching dies so I stamped 2 each of the foliage and berries from that set, colored with Copics, then die cut them. I arranged two sprays in opposite corners and added the die cut white circle with a sentiment from SU For Unto Us stamp set. I added two yellow glittery dots to the centers of the poinsettias and 3 small red rhinestones on the sentiment panel. The sentiment circle and poinsettias are mounted with foam tape and the foliage is just glued under the petals.
I will add this to Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
