We're counting down to Christmas day, my friends! Hello there - it's me, Michele! Those of you who know me well also know that I seldom pass on adding another new Poinsettia to my collection! Oh, is she a beauty! No messing around today - let's get to my card!
Here's how it came together:
I cut all the layers of this Honey Bee Lovely Layers Poinsettia from
white cardstock. Blended some bright pink ink with a little extra on the edges and
nooks and crannies... the detail in this die is incredible!
I gave them all a good splattering of water-down gesso
then waited patiently for that to dry!
While waiting, I pulled out a piece of giftwrap that I'd hoarded saved for
just the right card - this was the time!
I partially dry-embossed this sweet little die-cut panel from the
Concord & 9th Friendly Florals set - scoring just above where I placed my silver heat embossed
wonderful sentiment - also HoneyBee - Home for the Holidays.
A few seed beads for the center and my work here is done - with pleasure!
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and all the best in 2023!
Thanks so very much for your support this year!
