Poinsettia ...

Good afternoon from a wet and dreary Oxfordshire ... after my very long last post I thought I would treat you to a short and to the point post.  Surprise, surprise another couple of Christmas cards - two designs using the same UNIKO stamp sets.

First ... an off the edge water coloured poinsettia:

 

I stamped the flower onto a die cut panel and fussy cut the edge having water coloured it first, I also trimmed the card base front.  The panel was adhered with foam tape to add dimension.

The second card could have been a one layer card if my inky finger had behaved and not put a smudge of black ink in the wrong place!

For this card I only stamped part of the poinsettia from the first card having fussy cut a mask.  I stamped through the negative space and then used the positive part of the mask to cover the flower before stamping the sentiments around it.  I coloured the flower using crayons.  At this point I had to cut the panel away from the card, trim it and adhered it to another card ... if my inky finger had not got in the way it would have been one layer!!

I used:
