Good Morning. Are you feeling ready for Christmas yet? Such a busy time. I don't particularly like going grocery shopping but I do love walking into the grocery store and seeing the colourful, wonderful display of all the poinsettia plants. They have such a presence and a beauty like no other.
So, meet today's card made using the Christmas Pride stamp from Penny Black. Simply stamped the flower twice with Versamark ink then heat embossed with white Embossing powder. I took my Fired Brick and Picked Raspberry Distress ink pads and rubbed the ink directly from the pad onto the paper till all the white areas were covered up. I then sprayed with water to blend. I let that dry a bit then wiped over to remove the ink that was sitting on top of the white embossed outline. I stamped the flower twice so I could cut it out and layer it with pop dots and mount it to my card front.
I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black then added some red splatters to tie the whole card together.
The black pearls and the silver twine were the finishing touches.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Little Red Wagon- ANYTHING CHRISTMAS THEMED

Shopping Our Stash- RED ALERT
