I think I am becoming poinsettia obsessed! LOL Once again I am creating a poinsettia themed card. I better start focusing on a Santa or snowman theme for my next cards.
Today's featured SCS stamper is Ebethneu and she has an amazing gallery full of wonderful cards. Surprizingly enough her poinsettia card caught my eye and I had to CASE and modify it. I used the same layout she did but I changed the stamp sets. I also layered my poinsettias and popped them up on dimensionals. I added a different ribbon treatment and created an oval layered "Joy" sentiment using the Big Shot and oval nestabilities. The "Joy" sentiment is from the "Peace Love Joy" stamp in the All Holidays set. I just masked off the other two words with tape, inked the image up, removed the tape and then stamped the image on scrap whisper white cardstock.
The stamped background on the card was created with the flourish and small flower images from the Baroque Motifs set. I wasn't going to add any glitter to my poinsettias but I can't stand plain looking petals so I had to add some glitz to them. I love the shimmery effect it gives and it really softens the color too.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. DH is gone to watch the Grey Cup with his buddies so I I think the kids and I will decorate the tree today.
