I used the thesaurus I bought last year at Goodwill to die cut my beloved Spellbinders poinsettia set. I cut two of each size to make my flower more full, since the paper is thin. I used Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn to color the petals and leaves, and added three gold gems in the center. I used a leftover piece of the burlap I used to make THIS flower as a backing for my poinsettia, and placed a doily half underneath that. I inked the edges of the kraft card with Tea Dye ink, and the sentiment is from Studio G and stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy.
That's all for this post, but I'll be back in a bit to share a baby card I made for a coworker. Hope to see you then!

ReplyDeleteWow! All that text and so beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThat texty poinsettia is amazing ... love the ink and dimension ... and the texture of the burlap off-sets it perfectly ... so glad you joined our texty celebration at jingle belles.
