Stampendous - Pretty Poinsettias - Final Day

7/24/2015

2 Comments

 
It's the last day of this week's weekly theme of Pretty Poinsettias.  I've had tons of fun playing with the Cling Create A Poinsettia and Coordinating Die Set.  I'm in my vintage place so indulge me one more day as I create in my favorite design style!

Here's my card creation for today:
Picture
The card began on watercolor paper (Strathmore Bristol Smooth Surface) and was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel.  The photo really captures the metallic shimmer of this enamel.   My watercolor choice was Peerless Watercolor Sheets.  I used Jackqueminot Red (which is a beautiful vibrant pink), Chrome Green and Grass Green for the holly leaves, Daffodil Yellow for the leafy fronds and Alizarine Red for the berries.  I like having my Palette Paper nearby to add water and be able to play with the color intensity.  I mostly used the wet-on-wet watercolor technique as I love how the color blooms as it spreads into the wet areas.

The background pink panel was color washed with the Peerless Jackqueminot Red.  I really wet my brush and swiped a bit of the Peerless color and painted back and forth down the length of the panel.  Easy peasey!  I set that aside to dry or it could be heat set.

Because I'm a stencil kind-a-gal, I wanted to include a Dreamweaver Stencil.  You might be asking what stencil I used and it is actually a partial section of the Christmas Borders stencil!  It has that one tiny row of poinsettias that I thought were perfect for this card.  All I did was tape with 3M Removable tape above and below the rows I didn't want and proceeded to paste using Translucent Paste.  I used Translucent because I knew I was going to add pink glitter over the wet paste.  That was set aside to dry.

Meanwhile, I wanted to match my ribbon to the card and spritzed a length of May Arts white ribbon and added the Peerless watercolor onto the ribbon with a paint brush.  I may have added more spritz to blend to my liking.  The ribbon was dried with a heat tool.

All that was left was assembling the card.  The poinsettia image was cut down 4-1/2 x 4 in order to fit onto the 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 pink panel.  The ribbon was tied into a double bow first and then the poinsettia was affixed to the pink panel with 3M ATG Tape Runner.

Taking a piece of leftover scrap, Happy Holidays tag was gold embossed and punched with a McGill punch.  The tag was edged with Tsukineko Delegato Golden Glitz ink.  A tiny 1/8" hole was punched at the top of the tag and threaded with gold thread (my stash) and tied around the ribbon bow.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and will leave me a comment before you go!  Thanks for stopping by.

This is so pretty! I love that you used different colors and the white embossing makes it look like a beautiful silk painting.

This is perfection by Lyn! I love the colors you've chosen for to watercolor the brilliantly embossed pointsettis. So pretty! The stenil a;ong the edge adds just the right balance to your design. Love that ribbon with the double bow!
