Christmas Card using Color Burst Powders + Video

Hi everyone, Ardyth here today with a cool, modern twist on a classic Christmas theme – a poinsettia wreath!

I started by creating two colourful panels of watercolour cardstock, using Ken Oliver Colorburst powders. I used a mix for each one, to add variation and interest to them. I also spritzed shimmer sprays on them, to create some festive sparkle.

When they were dry, I cut the largest Stitched Poinsettia from the red panel and I cut the Winter Scene from the green panel. I used only the stitched circular frame on my card, but I kept the rest of the pieces for another card.

I arranged the ‘wreath’ on my card, and I created some fun contrast by tucking one of the flower petals underneath the green frame, and then popping up the rest of them with foam tape.

I used a tiny Merry Christmas sentiment from Holiday Signs, and I placed it where the slope of the sentiment would fit right underneath one of the petals. It’s just a tiny detail, but it definitely shows that thought was put into the placement of the sentiment.

To finish off the card, I used 3 of the smallest gold confetti from the new Celebration Confetti mix for some shine.

I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for stopping by!
