Poinsettia ...

Another day, another Christmas card!  At this rate of production I should have this year's cards finished by June 2017!!  I really need to find a design that I like that is simple and I can make quickly - I like this one but it's not that quick to make.



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!
