Nancy here with you today. I love florals for Christmas so today's card was a labor of love for me.
I stamped the largest image from the Seasonal Christmas Flowers set onto Copic friendly cardstock and cut out with the matching die. The more traditional look of poinsettias is red but they actually grow in various colors so I colored mine in a pale lettuce green. I purchased that color one year much to my traditionalist husband's chagrin! To prepare the background I used a small spatula to partially apply Winter Snowfall Paper Glaze over the Winter Rings 6x6 Stencil onto the card front piece for tone on tone texture. I added a gold metallic cardstock border strip, then stamped the sentiment from the Swanky Christmas Sentiments set using golden glitz ink. I used the More Ash Leaves dies to cut from gold metallic cardstock, then attached the flower and the leaves to the panel. I added texture to the flower center using the Winter Snowfall Paper Velvet then pounced on Golden Sparkle Paper Glitz once dried. A few sequins from the Classic Christmas Sequins set finished it up.
Christmas is closer than we think.
