Day 3: Christmas Theme Week + Daily Giveaways
Hi friends, Debbie here for the Christmas Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh! How much have we been loving the Christmas and Winter Releases?! For today I’m playing with the previously released Poinsettias stamp set that has a coordinating Poinsettias stencil and Poinsettias coordinating dies.
I started off by stamping out all the Poinsettias and leaves on to X-Press It card stock, also stamping out the bells from Christmas Bells stamp set and copic colored in with:
R20, R22, R24, R27, R29, R39
G21, G24, G28
YR23, YR24, YR27, Y18
Y26, Y28
R81, R83, R85
Next, I die-cut out the images with the Poinsettias coordinating dies and Christmas Bells coordinating dies.
Then with a white standard A2 panel, I ink blended a pinkish red ink towards the top where I will attach the Poinsettias over. But before then I ran it through with the Chevron Pierced Plate and attached it to a card base.
I wanted some gold branches to tuck in with the foliage. So with the Holiday Wreath die set, I took some of the branch dies and ran through with the Matte Gold Card stock.
Popping up the poinsettias with thin and 3D foam squares, I made my arrangement. Adding the leave directly to the panel with liquid glue, and tucking the gold branches in also.
There was a small gap in the flowers, where I added a small foam squares in there to attach the bells on to.
Before I added my sentiment, I did white splatter all over the arrangement. As it dried I stamped and gold heat embossed “Season’s Greetings” from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas. Then with the Sentiment Strips Dies I die-cut it out and popped it up with foam squares.
The final touch was adding Metallic Gold Pearls and a Pink Blush Pearl to the center of the Bow.

So beautiful, and traditional!
I tend to use a combination of ProMarkers
and Tombow!
I like using colored pencils and the blending pencil. Gives a rich and smooth look without lines.
It’s a toss-up between using blender brushes to spread ink pad ink OR colored pencils.
Great work, Debbie!

Copics are my favorite!
Since they no longer make GraphIT markers, I’ve switched to Ohuhu Markers for coloring with some Prismacolor pencils thrown in too.
OMG! These poinsettias are STUNNING! I use copics but would LOVE to learn to combine the copics with colored pencils
I live to ink blend and color with alcohol markers!
My favorite coloring medium is alcohol markers. I have several different brands, and I like them all!
Beautiful poinsettias. I like to color with Copic markers.
I love using alchohol markers – a mish-mash of brands.
This card is absolutely stunning! I will never get over how seemingly effortlessly you put together these beautiful cards! My favorite thing to color stamps and things in with is alcohol markers (mine are off-brand from amazon.. haha) and acrylic paint markers for some details!
Diehard Copic user here! I do enjoy adding highlights with colored pencils as well.
My favorite way to color is by using Copic markers. I just love how well they blend and the shading I can get when using them.
Beautiful florals! Love the vibrant colors and splatter. I’m not that good with markers so I try to use ink for color on my card projects when at all possible. Thank you for the festive inspiration!
Glossy accents and grit paste
Such a beautiful card! I use Copics to color my projects.
Debbie wow!! I don’t usually like poisionettas but wow these are gorgeous!!
My fav coloring medium right now are copic markers. I really love learning how to blend with them to get really cool shadows and gradients!
Beautiful card Debbie!! I love the saturated and deep colors you used here. So very pretty and has that “classic holiday” look. I’m partial to Copics for coloring, though I do like to use prismacolor pencils & watercolors from time to time.
I mostly use Copics. But I do love stencil ing in images with dye inks, too.
Beautiful poinsettias! I don’t seem to have a favorite way to color–it depends on the project. For some things, Copics are great for more vibrant or fast coloring, I like watercolors–both pencils, distress crayons and re-inkers or watercolors. I just made a thank you card for a neighbor who cared for our cats while we were away–tried Copics, didn’t look right then got out the colored pencils and got the look I wanted. I’m grateful I have so many choices available–and can’t forget ink blending with stencils!
My favorite coloring medium is Distress Oxide Inks. I love to apply with blending brushes or use them like watercolors.
Your card looks so vibrant and I love it! Copic coloring and ink blending are my favorite mediums to color with.
Lovely card! My favorite coloring media is Prismacolor pencils, with watercolor being a close second.
A beautiful, bright & festive card. I shy away from coloring as much as possible. But, if I have to, I prefer color pencils.
Gorgeous poinsettias and bells! My favorite coloring medium… Olo markers!
I love the deep rich red of your poinsettias! Beautiful card! I mostly use colored pencils but would like to try Olo or Copics.
Wow this card is gorgeous. I love the deep rich red colouring. I love using my Ohuhu markers but I do want to start watercolouring more.
Absolutely stunning card–a favorite! I really don’t color, but I do love adding color with matching stencils. Would love to win this prize!
Wow! Beautiful card! My favorite coloring medium is OLO markers – just getting purchased and trying to practice! Long way to go yet for perfecting the skill!
I use colored pencils most of the time but trying by hand at watercoloring. The poinsettia card is beautiful.
Copics so far…it’s a journey to get the blending correct. have just started with watercolor pencils…late to the game :)
Gorgeous card! I like adding color with stencils and ink since I am still learning how to use Copics.
I love using embossing powder!
I mostly use copic markers!
My Copics were running out and I made the decision to start switching out to Olo. So I’m halfway between the switch.
What a pretty card. For years I’ve used Copics, but I recently fell into the “stenciling vortex” and have gotten quite addicted to it.
Goodness this card is gorgeous! I love alcohol markers for my cards and also Distress Oxides for blending.
The cards are beautiful!!!
My go-to coloring medium is Copic markers. I especially love working with red shades—they blend beautifully and always add such a striking touch to any project.
Sooooo beautiful I love how you colored those poinsettias. My favorite medium is my alcohol markers.
Beautiful coloring! I love using stencils to color my images as it’s easy for me but I also have copic markers that I enjoy using .
I am not very good at coloring so I usually stick with die cuts.
I tend to grab my colored pencils, but would love to practice more with alcohol markers.
My favourite medium is copics! I started out with colour pencils but it is very painful for the hands!
I use Copics and prismacolors.
Beautiful coloring. Copics are always my go to for coloring.
Copic markers but I’m not very good yet
