Golden Poinsettia

Hi and welcome!  Here is the second card I made for challenges this weekend.  This card has been made for The Flower Challenge, where Christmas is the theme.  I'm also linking up to the Card Concept challenge with this clean and simple card, focusing on the colours and Christmas theme.  As well, I'm linking this up to Darnell's NBUS challenge because everything but the frame is NBUS.




This is more NBUS - the October club kits from Spellbinders which only arrived this week.  I stamped and Copic-coloured the floral spray and die-cut it with the co-ordinating die.  For the card base, I hot-foiled a frame and a sentiment in matte gold hot foil.  I then popped up the flowers with foam tape and finished with some gold pearls.


It's hard to see in the photos, but for the centres of the flowers I "painted" them with Harvest Moon Mica Spray to give a lovely shine.








Products used:

Stamps:  Wonderful Christmas (Spellbinders)
Ink:  Amalgam (Gina K.)
Cardstock:  White, X-Press It
Dies:  Wonderful Christmas, Holiday Florals Background (Spellbinders), A2 Layers (Waffle Flower)
Accessories:  Harvest Moon Mica Spray, Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen

Cheers
Karren

Edited to Add:  This card got a shout out at The Flower Challenge.
