Christmas Theme Week- Day 6
Good morning lovely Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here and I am super excited to be sharing a card with you today for Christmas Theme week – I had so much fun combining several stamps and dies from the newest release to create this elegant floral card.
Don’t forget: items in the Christmas category are 15% off during the Christmas Theme Week!
I started off by stamping all of the flowers and leaves from Poinsettias stamp set on Copic friendly cardstock. I know poinsettias are most commonly red – but I always love the slightly less common pink ones, so I chose to color them in that color combo. I used these Copics for the flowers: R01, R11, R32, R22, and R14 – as well as Y21 and Y38 for the centers. The leaves were colored with G40, G21, and G24.
I die cut all of those images with the Poinsettia coordinating dies, then also die cut lots of greenery using Pine Sprigs Die set. I cut those from white cardstock, then used my lightest green Copic in the color combo above – G40 – to add a touch of soft color to those. I wanted them to be a super soft green, and that was the perfect way to make sure they coordinated perfectly with my other elements.
I arranged all those elements until I was happy with them, then used a piece of Press ‘n Seal to pick up the entire arrangement and add foam adhesive on the reverse side before adhering in place on my white cardbase. I added a tiny sentiment from Caroling Critters, and then a good coat of gold splatters using the Champagne Gold from my Starry Colors Palette. As a finishing touch, I added a few Ivory Jewels – love the sparkle and elegance they add!
Thanks so much for coming by today – I hope you have been enjoying all the inspiration this week! Have a wonderful day – and Merry Christmas!
I love the soft colors. For some reason it reminds me of Hawaii. Really pretty!
Soft and beautiful card! :)
I like the simple sentiment. For Christians it is about Jesus’ birth. To others it is hope for joy. And it is very pretty.
Gorgeous!!!!
This is a very lovely card. Beautiful coloring. Nice stamp and die set.
Beautiful card. The coloring is stunning. I like the bling and I envy the placement.. I can never get them in the right area
