Joyous Season

 

Welcome

Meet today's card.

Super simple and came together so quickly using what has become one of my favourite embossing folders this year.

So here's what I did.

• Once again I went looking through my roll off sheet I did with acrylic paint while taking the Gel Plate printing class this past summer.  I found this one with blue and purple and thought it would work well.
• I placed the paper into the Perfect Poinsettia embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  It does help to give the paper a light spritz of water before embossing for a deeper impression.
• After I embossed it, I used a sanding block to gently sand off the raised areas....so simple but gives great results.  I splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I die cut the Celebrate 3 times and glued them together.  Using some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink, I inked up the bottom of the sentiment to add more detail.  I glued that into the bottom corner.
• I stamped the sentiment strip and pop dotted it over the celebrate.
• I glue it onto a heavy white card base, then added some shiny gems to the center of the flower.

Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
