Poinsettia

Hello gang!  Last day of double posts!  For The Cat’s Pajamas Blog Hop Post Click HERE!



We’ve reached Day Four of the gorgeous new Happiest Holiday Releases at Power Poppy!  Today’s set is a stunner and I know you’ll love the inspiration from the Bloom Brigade!  



Sigh....wasn’t I right?  Isn’t it gorgeous?  This beautiful poinsettia and pomegrante arrangement will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas stamps.  I stamped the image onto XPress It Blending cardstock with Memento Grey Flannel ink to soften the effect, and then coloured it all up with Copics to match this pretty paper from Bo Bunny - Candy Cane Lane.  I’ve also added some vellum over the deep pink layer to also give it that muted effect.  


The sentiment is embossed in silver on to cool gray cardstock and then I added some pretty silver sequins, clear rhinestones and some satin ribbon.  



And here’s the lovely inside with the image stamped in Memento Lilac Posies ink and the sentiment in Gray Flannel.  Finished card is 5 x 5 inches.  



Here’s the Copics I used - you can click on it if you’d like to make it larger.  



Now prepare to be wowwed by the Bloom Brigade!  :)
