Hello once again. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new challenge – anything goes Christmas/Festive. Here is my card:
I used a few techniques for this image, having a little messy playtime in my craft room.
The background to the poinsettia is from a Distress Oxide ink smooshing session. I seem to have a lot of inky backgrounds from playing around with the inks and oxides which I must try and use at some point….
Onto the ink smooshed background, I stamped the Tim Holtz poinsettia image. This was stamped in embossing ink, then I added pinches of Distress embossing powder onto the image (a technique I’ve wanted to try since seeing Tim Holtz demonstrate it) using a red and a green embossing powder, then heat setting.
I added a gold layer then as I felt the panel was looking quite vintage, I placed onto a Kraft card base.
The foiled sentiment was added as you see.
I hope you can come and join us. xx

A mixed media style card always looks good to me. I really like how you did the embossing on the poinsettia and leaves. Just enough for interest without overpowering.
