But now, let's dive into my second project, which highlight the Winter Poinsettias dies.
I firstly started deciding the color palette of my card. I wanted red poinsettia with gold foliage, for a more "elegant" look. I die cut the flowers from some Red Hot cardstock, and I added some Amarena Cherry ink at the centre to darken it up. I then cut all the foliage from some mirror gold and sparkly gold cardstock I had in my stash and I moved into the background.
I initially thought I would have used a white background, but after placing all the pieces I didn't like it and I tried with Gravel Grey A2 one. I really loved the result! I also decided to foil the two largest
Hot Foil Octagon Frames Die-namics to create some gold frames for my sentiment, which comes from Christmas Wishes stamp and which is white heat embossed. I glued the two flowers and the leaves at the opposite corners, I used gold semi spheres for the poinsettias centres and some red crystal jewels as the berries. To complete the card, I matted the A2 grey panel with a 6"x4.75" white one. And here's the finished result.
