Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is some pretty colored poinsettias!
PRETTY POINSETTIA
I went with a slimline card size so the three different colored poinsettias would fit comfortably on the front! The texture in the background mimics the texture on the pots!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 7 x 8-1/2 Poppy Parade cardstock, score at 3-1/2 and folded.
- A 3-1/4 x 8-1/4 piece of Smoky Slate cardstock was embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder and brushed with Smoky Slate Ink, then added to the front.
- The two leaf branches were cut with the Die from Old Olive cardstock and brushed with Old Olive Ink along the edges. They were adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and bottom.
- The bottom leaves of the Poinsettias were cut with the Die from Peaceful Pine cardstock and brushed with Peaceful Pine Ink on the edges.
- The three layers of the Poinsettias were cut with the Dies from Poppy Parade cardstock and brushed with Cherry Cobbler Ink in the centers. The next from Very Vanilla cardstock and brushed with Soft Sea Foam Ink in the centers, the last from Flirty Flamingo cardstock and brushed with Flirty Flamingo Ink in the centers. They were layered and adhered together, then added to the leaves. They were placed over the leaf branches with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Pretty Poinsettia greeting was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the label in the Springtime Scenes Die. The letters were colored with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. It was tucked into the Very Vanilla poinsettia with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Trios of Antique Pearls were added to each of the poinsettia centers.
