Spotlight Poinsettas

Well I did a dumb thing. I took the bed linens off to wash them tonight and then forgot to throw them in the dryer LOL so now it's 12:45am and I could stand to go to sleep anytime...but since I can't here's a card I made tonight!

Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

This poinsetta stamp is from the half sheet Christmas plate by I Brake For Stamps (see sidebar for link). I started by inking the stamp with black Staz-Onand stamping it on white cs two times.

I used a pencil to draw some freehand triangles where they looked good to me and then used a paper trimmer to cut the lines straight. I colored these with a blender pen and Distress inks (Peeled Paint, Aged Mahogany, and Scattered Straw). I adhered these to green cs and trimmed them by hand with a ruler, Exacto knife and glass mat.

I adhered the triangles to the base image, stamped extra poinsettas in the corners for balance, and then stenciled Stampin' Up!'s Cranberry Crisp around the edges. I wrapped the ribbon around the panel and adhered it to cranberry cs. I punched a hole in each corner and added anodized brads.

I adhered this to a Watercolor Distressed panel (see CD shadowbox post on sidebar for instructions), then to a cranberry card front.

Thanks for looking!
