Project - Dictionary Poinsettia

Project - Dictionary Poinsettia

Galleries: Stamping, Cardmaking


This card is for SOF11 Celebrate Just Because (celebrate a funny holiday in October), SOF11 Combo Card (stamping and another papercrafting technique, Stamping A to Z (D for Distress, F for Florals) and for the Hero Arts October challenge (Holiday card theme). Today (16 October) is Dictionary Day and I used that as inspiration for my card, by using a dictionary page as background. The poinsettia was stamped on the dictionary page, masked and then the leaves were stamped. I used both positive and negative masks to colour the poinsettia with Distress inks using sponge daubers. The word 'poinsettia' was encircled on the dictionary page and inked with a bit of Antique Linen. Seed beads were stitched to the flower centre with golden thread. I also used a bunch of golden threads, tied them together and stitched them down with seed beads. The dictionary page was crumbled up. I thought the flower was a bit dark, so I outlined it roughly with a white gel pen. TFL!!

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps: Poinsettia & Berries CG363, Christmas Reindeers CL540; Distress Ink: Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, Antique Linen; metallic gold DMC; gold seed beads; white gel pen.

This is easily one of the coolest cards I have seen all week. The fact that you colored the poinsettia and it is still translucent so that we see the dictionary page is just awesome.
