November Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Check out Day 2 of the blog hop HERE

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here with you today and I’m going to share a watercolor poinsettia card featuring the New Release Products.

I started my card by stamping Poinsettias and Elegant Holly onto 140lb cold press watercolor paper using embossing ink, then heat embossed them in gold. I watercolored the images in red and green, then I die cut them all using Poinsettias Coordinating Dies and Elegant Holly Coordinating Dies. White acrylic ink was splattered onto the images to express snow.

To make a panel, I prepared A2 sized watercolor paper, masked four edges then I ink blended it using Distress Ink Antique Linen and Tea Dye. I splattered dark ink and metallic gold ink on the panel and let it dry. After I stamped a sentiment from Decorative Ornaments Stamp  on the lower part, I adhered my colored images using glue and foam tapes. Finally I foam mounted the panel onto red card base, then finished it off by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.
