Today I have a blue poinsettia card with gold accents. The colors for the poinsettia were picked to coordinate with the lovely blue and gold paper I used on the top of the card. The poinsettia was also gold embossed and it really catches the eye and wasn’t hard at all to make.
It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS967, so a big congrats to Lee Mae! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & paper on top w/ the dividing strip & flower. But I used a poinsettia instead, different colors, a die cut greeting instead of a stamped one, & made mine a Christmas card.
To make my card, I stamped the poinsettia twice w/ lt blue ink, then colored both to match the paper I used. Then I stamped over them again using gold ink & heat embossed them w/ gold powder. I did this because Copics don’t play well with embossing powder or pigment inks. After die cutting the poinsettias, I trimmed off the lower leaves on one to pop it up on top of the other. Some pine boughs were die cut out of blue & brushed gold as was the NOEL & its backing. An edge cut die was also cut out of this gold & attached over the border between the designer paper & the plain paper. The layers of the greeting were also popped up one more layer.
Here are the Copics I used for the poinsettias:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
