I’ve relented and am starting Christmas designs, so I thought we should begin with a bang and real beauty from Spellbinders called Poinsettia Bloom Etched Dies and the gorgeous foiled background from Spellbinders called Pine Sprays. The poinsettia set is mean to be a straight die set, but for fun, I foiled the outline of the die and then decided to pull out my Daniel Smith watercolours and painted the bloom and greenery. You can see the flecks of gold outlining the sectinos of the petals and leaves from the foiling with makes for a lovely effect.
Next I used the outline part of the die to create layers of golden foiled greenery and metallic gold accents from paper. It has amazing gold shimmer in real life. It’s layered on an older Spellbinders circle die with intricate cutting, and then layered onto the foiled pine card base. Tons of dimension.
A pretty foiled sentiment from Yana’s Sentiments Glimmer with a pop of colour and some gold sequins add more glam.
Thanks for jumping into Christmas with me!
