Peaceful Poinsettia

Uncategorized

7 Sep
Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday I had a lovely walk in the sunshine, down to the 
town to collect my car, which hubby had dropped off in the
 morning for a service. As far as I’m concerned, this weather
 can carry on for several more weeks like this, as long as
 it turns cold in time for Christmas! ☺
This is another stamp set that’s just crying out to be painted!
 Yesterday I painted it twice, once with our Marker Pens and 
once with our Blends – and I liked both results equally. For
 today’s card, I used our Blends, and I stamped the image
 twice on Shimmery White Cardstock (CS) using Tuxedo
 Black Memento Ink. The Blends I used are the Real Red Combo 
and the Old Olive Combo, plus Dark Daffodil Delight for the centres.
 It was a toss up between the Frost White Shimmer Paint and
 Dazzling Diamonds for the berries – the latter won! I think
 Stampin’ Up! have excelled themselves again with their 
fabulous colour revamp! Although I used Shaded Spruce for
 my card base and the inner oval, the ribbon is Tranquil Tide.
I knew the direction I was taking the design of my card, but
 I needed a small sentiment, and there isn’t one in the 
Peaceful Poinsettia Stamp Set. There are three, but have 
been designed to be a prominent feature on a card, so I had a
 look at my other Christmas stamp sets and found this 
beautiful Seasons Greetings in the Wishing You Well Stamp Set.

As I was using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper – this is now 
retired and we have Sparkle Glimmer Paper instead – I 
wasn’t sure whether to heat emboss the sentiment in 
White or Silver. White won and it was the right decision;
 I’m really pleased with how it looks! 
 After I had painted one of the two stamped images, I
 
 decided to paint the second poinsettia only, and then to 
fussy cut it. I used the die from the Detailed Poinsettia 
Framelits to die cut the complete painted image, but it 
didn’t look right against my fussy cut flower.  This was because
 I had cut around the black edging, but the die had left a 
very narrow white edging. It would have been alright if I
 had left a white edging, but I didn’t so I fussy cut the whole
 image! It wasn’t too bad as the die had laid the guidelines 
so it was just a question of following them! 

I covered all the berries with Fine Tip Glue, then covered 
with Dazzling Diamonds, and put the die cut to one side to
 dry! The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the same pack 
I used for yesterday’s card, which was Under the Mistletoe. 
As I’m sitting writing this, I’m looking at my card and feel it
 needs something to finish it off. I’ve decided it needs some 
yellow pearls in the centre of the flower. Unfortunately, 
I’ve finished taking all my photographs! Grrr!

To finish the inside of my card, I stamped the strip of holly
 stamp twice in a row, along the bottom of the inside layer,
 and coloured with the green and red Blends as before. I
 also added a robin from the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set!  
 
 I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project, and maybe you’ll
 give it a try! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.

    How did I miss THIS yesterday?! It's gorgeous! Love how you've combined the 2 stamp sets … beautifully done, my friend! Love too that you've pulled out your Dazzling Diamonds again. It's just the perfect touch of glitter against the beautiful bold red and green!
