CAS Poinsettia Card

Hello Everyone!!

For today I am playing along with Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge. The cue word for this month is poinsettia.

Entering Challenge:
Happy Little Christmas Challenge
October: Poinsettia

This delicious ornament was painted using Perfect Pearls
for a bit of shine.

The poinsettia was stamped twice then fussy cut and
sprayed with Perfect Pearls and water. 

This ornament stamp was generously given to me by BozenA from ArtCardBox. If you haven't seen her work yet then you should. She is an extremely talented and gifted artist.

Heat embossing the image allowed me to paint with Perfect Pearls. Such a beautiful bit of shine that can only be seen in the light? In trying to keep the card CAS I considered minimal color; gold and red. This allows the poinsettia to be the star of the show. More dramatically, it has been popped off the card by paper piecing and dimensional tape. This is also a very intricate stamp that needed a simple backdrop so I added a sense of space by stamping a pine branch and a very simple, yet interesting looking, sentiment. 

That should do it for me I hope you enjoyed your stay with me here at TheGrandStampede. Please feel free to leave a comment; I really enjoy reading your comments. Thank you so much and we will see soon with another creation.

All the best,

Shawna
