This set has become one of my favorite Christmas sets! I think you will agree with me.
It is Joy Clair's, "3D Christmas Poinsettia".
I stamped the panel with some of the smaller poinsettias with some VersaFine Clair Nocturne. I colored them with Leisure Arts Premium Colored pencils. I did some shading with the light and dark color of each pencils. I cut the panel and mounted it on some black cardstock and set it aside to work on the card base.
I used a regular A2 card and cut another white panel 1/4 inch smaller for my card front. I positioned the panel on it without tape so I can see where to add my other panels and stamping.
Next, I stamped the large, medium and small poinsettia onto red cardstock and colored them with pencils to add shading. I fussy cut out each flower and layered them together. I bent the petals to make them more 3D and attached a brad to the center to keep them secure.
I then stamped the leaves on some green cardstock and also added some shading with colored pencils, cut them out and rolled them a bit for a more realistic look.
I added the flower to a square white cardstock panel and then mounted it onto a black mat. I set this on my card to see where I want to add my sentiment stamp.
I stamp my sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and then tie a red ribbon around the white panel. The white panel is added to the card base and then I add the other 2 panels with some foam adhesive.
To add a little bling, I added some jewels to the end of my "Joy" sentiment stamping.
Thank you for joining me for my Christmas in July card. I hope you like it and give it a try for yourself.
So pretty. I like the dimension.
