If you follow my blog you will see that red and gold seems to be the flavour of the year for cards! I heat embossed the image with gold and then water coloured the flower. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, cut the panel and adhered the flower with foam adhesive to add some dimension.
I used:
UNIKO - Pure Florals: Poinsettia
Distress Ink - Festive Berries
Gold Embossing Powder
Versamark Ink
I'm going to enter the following challenges:
"Less is More" #300 Celebrations and Festivals
Addicted to Stamps and More #217
Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge
Enjoy!
This is so beautiful Elaine! The red and gold colour palette is stunning, and I love the cut away sentiment strip. Such a distinctive and classy design - gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with us for our 300th challenge at Less is More :)
