Keeping up with
my Christmas card making and today I’ve been playing with the Lavish Poinsettia
die from Tattered Lace.
I chose this die
as the current theme at Christmas Cards All Year ’Round is flowers. I searched in vain for a poinsettia stamp
among my collection and even for one I liked in digi but in the end am glad I went
with a die cut instead. I’ve used all of
the elements of the die; I just didn’t assemble it all in one. I took the base and used the negative cut to
create a shaker window and layered the second filigree piece and the final centre
piece. The small solid set of petals I used
to embellish my sentiment flag. For a
bit of interest I stamped the solid petals with a Leaf Print stamp from Tim Holtz and
embossed with clear embossing powder. A bit
of bling for a final touch in the centre finished off my card.
The overall
layout of my card follows the current sketch at CAS Colours &Sketches. I mirror imaged the sketch not
by plan but by not thinking about this when I placed my top piece of cardstock
on the alcohol inked piece. My larger
border ended up on the wrong side so I had to go with the mirror image. I also shifted the placement of the sentiment
banner to better fit the two poinsettias.
At Fab ‘n’ Funky they
happen to be looking for Christmas projects so I am also linking my card up
there.
