A Warm and Merry Christmas

Hello once again. I have a mixed media card to share today using products from Pinkfresh Studio:

I started by stamping the image then ink blending using the layering stencils. The stamp set is a red rubber, and the centre is a sentiment which I took out – I just used the frame.

As I wanted my poinsettias to be a blue colour – varying tones, and manged this using Pinkfresh Studio inks. As they come in four tones this was quite easy once I had decided on the colour.

Once the image was blended, I used the matching die to cut the frame out.

I decided on using a Spellbinders ‘Sage‘ card stock for the background, and used a Spellbinders embossing folder. the panel was cut down to an A2 card size, and glued flat to the card base.

I then added the poinsettia frame with 3D foam pieces – some small cuts to make sure there were no saggy areas – then splattered with a gold and white shimmery acrylic paint. I did this before adding the sentiment as I didn’t want that being splattered.

The sentiment (I think it is also a Pinkfresh Studio sentiment from a previous virtual event) was added with a mixture of 3D foam pieces and wet glue to ensure it was the same height across the middle area and the frame.

The final detail was to add some gold gems here and there.
