White on White Poinsettia

The Paper Players have one of my favourite challenges going on right now:


I love white on white for Christmas cards so went with a poinsettia:


I stamped and heat embossed the poinsettia in white on vellum twice and fussy cut the whole flower from one of them and just part of the flower from the other.  I taped them together and used a bit of clear dimensional tape to keep parts of the top flower raised.

I taped it to my card base and cut a round frame for it.  The frame is popped up with dimensional tape.

The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in silver, and the poinsettia embellished with several tiny sparkly stickers.

It's definitely a CAS card so it's also heading over to The Flower Challenge:


Thanks for taking a look!





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black poinsettia, Old Island Stamp Co. sentiment
Ink - ColorBox white and silver
Paper - white cs, vellum
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - white and silver embossing powders, Spellbinders circle die, foam tape, clear dimensional tape, Starform tiny stickers

    Utterly stunning! The poinsettia is so gorgeous that it can stand out, even on the white ground. The touch of bling in the centre is fabulous. The circle setting is a simple but very effective frame. I love it! Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
