Poinsettia Joy

 Hi, I'm back with a card for the current Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge where I've gone with the centre row of Holiday Floral/Free/Red.  I also used the sketch at Sunday Stamps and the Christmas theme at Krafty Chicks.


I created the poinsettia from a Spellbinders die set and before adhering the layers together, I added some Statue Foundry Wax to the edges of the petals and holly leaves.  I die-cut the word Joy from matte gold foil and adhered the J and the Y to a smaller panel of white, which I'd matted onto some more of the gold matte foil. 



The sentiment was hot-foiled onto black.  I decided not to add any embellishments because I wanted a clean card.

Thanks for visiting.  And before I go, it's coming into summer here in New Zealand and I went out to the garden this morning and picked this bunch of flowers, which is something I very rarely do!  The roses smell lovely!





Products used:

Cardstock:  White, Black, Gold Matte Foil, Jelly Bean, Wild Cherry (MFT)
Dies:  Holiday Blooms, Holiday Sentiments Series 2 (Spellbinders), Big Joy (SSS), A2 Rectangle Stax (MFT)
Accessories:  Statue Foundry Wax, Gold Matte Hot Foil

Cheers
Karren
