'Poinsettias'

Hi there

Well, I have now managed to put up our Christmas tree and decs, just a few bits and pieces still to do but thankfully all about done!! Will add photos later....Can now concentrate on a few more handmade cards for family and DT projects for Jan,  my boxed cards to write and send, then chill!!!

For now, it's my turn to share with you my December inspiration for  LeAnn's World 101. I'm using Poinsettias. Here is what I created...

On a 6x6 scalloped card blank, I matt and layered kraft card with this fab tartan paper. The image, I printed 4 times, coloured, then carefully cut out and decoupaged. I placed this on to a die cut kraft card tag. I coloured the edges of the tag with titanium white panpastel and added a few drops of pinflair snow dust. I decorated with die cut holly (with added liquid pearl berries), pine cones and branches. Finishing off with die cut sentiment.

I decided to go for non traditional colours again, the design is not unlike a project I did a couple of years ago, but with a few differences. The base card I used is kraft card and on this I matt and layered gold metallic linen card and black paper with gold effect snowfall pattern. On this I placed the image topper. The image itself, I coloured with Promarkers in shades of yellow, adding some panpastel round edges and loose glitter/glitter glue for dimension and effect. I decorated with die cut poinsettia flowers using yellow linen paper and some added glitter glue in centers, also die cut ivy leaves using gold linen card, finishing off with some pearl adhesive gems.

I had so much fun creating this project. First of all I designed the backing paper on word doc using multiples of the Capricorn symbol from the bundle, then printing on some grey patterned paper. I think it turned out well!! I matt and layered this with Core'dinations dark grey Gemstones card. The main image, I printed, coloured and carefully cut out and placed as shown. Adding various other images from the bundle too, to decorate. Finishing off with some die cut 'Fantasy Ferns' that resemble seaweed.
