Hi
Friends!!
It’s
time for the new #81 {Rich Holiday} Challenge at The Card Concept!
I
was inspired by the beautiful red poinsettias as well as all of the gold and
textures for my Mixed Media Classy and Elegant card.
I
decided to pair the Poinsettia Collage stamp (Our Daily Bread Designs) along with ODBD Christmas
Collection 2013 6x6 Paper Pad for this quick card! I chose to leave the
sentiment off the front so, if desired, the recipient could display the card beyond the
Christmas season :-) Plus, I could not allow myself to cover any of the wonderful details of the ODBD Poinsettia Collage stamp!
I
am also linking this card to the A Gem of A Challenge #206 "Ribbon and Pearls" Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #306-#307 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to check out
the rest of the wonderful Design Team cards at The Card Concept as well as the
entries at the other challenge sites- fabulous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Prepare a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the
ODBD Poinsettia Collage image with Versamark™ ink, apply gold embossing powder
and heat set with a heat tool. Once the
embossing powder has cooled, color the image using a water brush with distress
inks and markers. Trim close to the edge
of the image, mount onto espresso cardstock and trim again.
2).
Trim a piece of the ODBD Christmas Collection 2013 6x6 Paper to 4” x 5 ¼”,
mount onto a piece of espresso cardstock.
Mount the embossed image panel created in step #1 to the center and add
the gold triple ribbon bow (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the card
front).
3).
Mount the entire card front onto a white card base and add a few pearls to the
lower right hand corner.
4).
Finish off the card by adding highlights to the center of the poinsettia with
an extra fine white paint pen and shimmer to the petals with a clear glitter
pen.
