Hi and welcome! It's my turn to hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches and here's the card I made:
To be honest, I made this card weeks ago and then decided to base my sketch around it. One day I just felt like Copic-colouring so I coloured up this poinsettia border and then just kept on going with gold hot foil and some fussy-cutting until this was the finished product.
The hot-foiling was used for the stripes on the red panel as well as the over-sized sentiment. I think the sentiment looks quite cool how it merges with the focal point.
So, that's my card and my sketch. I hope you head over to check out how the rest of the DT have interpreted my sketch. Thanks so much for visiting!
I'm also going to enter this in the current Flower Challenge, where the theme is Christmas. I was inspired by the Christmas theme and the colours at The Card Concept for my Clean and Layered card and by the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge where I went with Glitz/Free/Christmas.
Products used:
Stamps: Poinsettia Border (SSS/Paper Rose)
Ink: Amalgam (Gina K)
Cardstock: Fog (SSS), Amarena Cherry (MFT), X-Press It, Gold Hot Foil
Dies: Skinny Stripe Background, Stylish Script Merry Christmas (Spellbinders)
Accessories: Copics
Cheers

SOOOO, so beautiful, Karren! Fabulous coloring, and yes! that sentiment! Glorious!
Karren, this is really exquisite - gorgeous coloring, as always! So, which came first: the foiling, or the stamping/coloring? However, they merged together just beautifully!
