For my card I have used a stamp set by Clearly Besotted called Pretty Poinsettia. I stamped the larger flower with Sahara Sand and the smaller one in Real Red. I fussy-cut an additional ponsettia to add a bit of dimension. I also added some die-cut pine sprigs and painted the centres of the flowers and the pine needles with Cosmic Shimmer. I do hope you will join us this week over at 52CCT, April x

Beautiful! I love your Ida of lifting one of the images out of the stamped background. I know what you mean about precision stamping... 4 times I started to make my card and something always seemed to go wrong! You, on the other hand, have done a fab job!

Thanks Louise! It's a great technique, but this is my fourth attempt too!! I had left it until the last minute, so was in a right panic :-) Xx
Deletelove that you added dimension to your card
ReplyDeleteI think these poinsettia are just so beautiful, and I do like the way you've popped one up - gives great dimension. Lovely xx
