Christmas Card with Copics

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a Christmas card to share with you all using the Poinsettias stamp set. I decided to also do a little dry embossing on the background for some added interest.

I started off with dry embossing my leaves. I took a piece of watercolour cardstock and ran through the coordinating leaves dies of the Poinsettias set. I used a thin tan embossing mat between two plates in my Big Shot Machine to get the effect. I then die cut the same leaves from some masking paper and adhered them over top. I then use Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks for the background, I flicked on some water and dried it with a heat tool.

Next, I could colour my images in. I stamped out all the poinsettias and leaves and used Copic Markers to colour them in. I then cut them out using the coordinating dies and added foam tapes to the backs.

Copic Markers Used: R24, R29, R39, R89 / G03, G05, G16, G29 / Y35, YR12, YR24)

I then arranged all my images onto my background and adhered them down into place. I added Wink of Stella in clear for added interest as well. I also arranged the leaves around the dry embossed ones. I then stamped the ‘Merry Wishes’ sentiment from Penguin Pals onto the right-hand side of my panel as well as a piece of red and white striped patterned paper.

For a last finishing touch, I used some Holiday Jewel Mix and scattered them around my card and adhered them into place.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you all next time.
