Holiday Poinsettia

Good Morning and Welcome

Another card for the holidays featuring some stenciling and fussy cutting.

Some great new releases for October from A Colorful Life Designs.

I used the Beautiful Poinsettia stencil as the focal point of my card.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and put the Beautiful Poinsettia stencil over that.  
• Starting in the center of the poinsettia, I inked it up with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.  I moved outwards from the middle and inked with some Crackling Campfire DOX ink going right to the edges of the flower.
• The center of the flower looked lost, so to give it a pop of colour, I inked over just the middle with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.  It really helped to make it more defined.
• Next, I fussy cut the flower out, splattered it with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I got out another piece of white cardstock and placed the Houndstooth stencil (an older release) over that and inked it up with some more of the red DOX inks.
• I glued the Houndstooth panel onto a white A2 sized card base, then using some foam tape, popped the poinsettia over that.
• Finally, I used more foam tape to pop the sentiment over the flower.

Here are the stencils I used:
