Selected as a Favorite of the Week at Split Coast Stampers.
Hello, hello....
If you are new to my blog...Welcome. If you are a regular visitor, you know by now that my favorite colors are shades of Blue.
Personally I have never seen a Blue Poinsettia, but I can dream....and make art!
Just playing today with this one...unless of course I find a challenge that fits the bill. :)
No one does more beautiful flower/foliage stamps than Penny Black.
I wish I could own each and every one of them!
To make this card I sprayed adhesive to a dictionary page and adhered it to White card stock.
Gesso was added to tone down the text.
Stamped Poinsettias in Blues and Teals using a Misti stamping tool.
Embossed just about an inch at the top of the card, then inked the edges.
Sentiment was stamped with StazOn Jet Black to adhere to the gesso.
