Good Luck!
When I started this card, I had no firm plan and it became a what-do-I-feel-like-playing-with time! Now the great thing about poinsettias is that their coloured petals and leaves are the same, so wherever you put the red and green will never be a mistake! This is how today's poinsettia turned out. Tomorrow's will be different!
I love tone on tone, but in this case the Season's Greetings diecut would have been swallowed up by the background! A tiny little dropshadow fixed that. I hope you find some ideas for your own creations here!
Supplies:
Quietfire A Way With Words Season's Greetings Quietfire site | Elizabeth Craft site
Black Embossing Powder
Core'dinations Poinsettia (really!) cardstock
Worldwin Petallics Spring Larch cardstock
Tombow Dual Brush Pen Markers: 249, 192, 993, 856, 847
Waterbrush
Instructions:
- Form a 5.5 x 7.75" card base from Spring Larch cardstock. Cut a red panel measuring 4.5 x 6.75". Mat with a black panel.
- Die cut Season's Greetings once from red cardstock and twice from Spring Larch cardstock.
- Stamp the poinsettia on watercolour paper and heat emboss with black embossing powder. Apply marker colour and quickly blend with water from water brush. Use an HB pencil to shade around the leaves and flourishes and form a dropshadow. Trim close to the edges of the flourishes and round the corners of the rectangle.
- Mount the red Season's Greetings on one of the green diecuts offsetting them slightly to give a dropshadow effect. Mount the poinsettia panel on the other green Season's Greetings so the words don't show, but the flourishes look like an extension of the poinsettia's flourishes.
- Use foam tape to attach the red/black panel to the card base and the poinsettia to the red/black panel as shown. Use clear foam tape to attach the diecut below the poinsettia.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look!
