Hello and welcome to my “Poinsettias for Days” post! I just cannot stop with these poinsettias…I’m in love. So today I have a bunch of projects to show you!
This first project features that beautiful poinsettia from this set from Our Daily Bread Designs that I colored “white” using Copic Markers in W3, W1, and Y11. I stamped the same poinsettia on red paper and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. It adds such a glamour to this card, I think.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Holiday Words dies, and I die cut it with green paper. Then I used mowed Lawn Distress ink and a finger dauber to ink up the lower portion of the words. I also added Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the outside corners of the red panel.
This next card shows off the Poinsettia Box stamp. This time I colored it up with watercolor markers and added details with colored pencil. I used Kathy Racoosin’s method of paying attention to those “nooks and crannies” with a darker color of pencil. I love how this makes the image really pop!
The background paper is from the new Christmas Collection 2018 paper pad, and the striped paper is from the Christmas Collection 2013 paper pad (one of my favorites)! That sentiment is white heat embossed on the dark green paper. I added some rhinestones for a fancy flair.
I couldn’t forget about my favorite purse dies! I thought they would be perfect with these large poinsettias. Who wouldn’t want a poinsettia purse this time of year!?! đ
My first one uses a green paper layer for the body of the purse, and then I thought I definitely need a red striped purse, so this one was created:
It’s so fun right?! I love this purse die and the layers dies…it’s one of my favorites of the year! There are so many things you can do with it. Check out my other purse posts here and here.
For my last project, I made a New Years card with a blue poinsettia and lots of glittery silver goodness! I die cut the Vintage Flourish Pattern die in silver glitter paper, then before I adhered it to the card base I heat embossed around the edges with silver embossing powder. Such a sparkly, festive look!
To finish it off I colored up the poinsettia in B00 and B000 Copic blues and the leaves in YG Copic greens. I love this combination of colors. The Happy New Year die cut is also from the Holiday Words dies. Last, I added some clear/gray dots with Nuvo drops.
Poinsettias galore! I hope you enjoyed these projects today. These will be the last poinsettia projects I share for a while, but I had such a great time making them all! Thanks for stopping by.
