Christmas Poinsettia - Karen McKibbin
Hello again! I've got a Christmas card today created from some new products from Paper Rose Studio.
Supplies Used: Poinsettia Bouquet Clear Stamp Set 30306, Christmas Poinsettia Border Metal Cutting Die 30159, Merry Christmas Chunky Metal Die Set 19511, silver mirror cardstock.
I started this card by stamping the poinsettia image onto Neenah Solar Crest 80# cardstock with Gina K amalgam black ink. I coloured it in with Copic markers (R39, R29, R35, YG01 for the main poinsettias, R46 for the berries, and BG72, BG70 for the leaves). I then applied some Glossy Accents to the berries and set it aside to dry before fussy cutting it out.
Next, on a white A2 (4.25" x 5.5") sized card front, I die cut the Christmas Poinsettia Border die twice, trying to get it evenly spaced across the card as well as up and down. I glued this onto an A2 sized piece of silver mirror cardstock, and then adhered this to my card base. This is a really beautiful border die!
On a scrap of white cardstock, I applied a red ink ( I think it was Rouge by Catherine Pooler), and then die cut the Merry Christmas from this. I also cut two more from white cardstock and stacked these together with glue. I die cut the shadow layer from the same white cardstock and then glued the sentiment to the shadow layer. I applied Glossy Accents to the sentiment and let it dry.
Finally, to assemble the card I glued the poinsettia image just above the center and the sentiment just below this. The silver mirror cardstock really gives this card a lot of shine and the die cut borders look so delicate!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!
