A couple of cards today using a poinsettia stencil and a poinsettia die cut (and a poinsettia sentiment).
I created the background with a poinsettia stencil and various red and pink Distress inks, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in copper. I set it behind a pierced die cut frame and added two small die cut poinsettias and copper stickles in the centres of the die cut and stencilled poinsettias for embellishment.
The second one uses stencilling inside stencilling. See this tutorial on SCS for instructions.
I used red and pink Distress inks again through the same poinsettia stencil, dried the ink with my heat tool, then put the poinsettia stencil back in place and laid a star stencil over top of it and used an orange ink through the star stencil.
Trimmed the panel, bordered with a gold panel, then a white panel, and added it to a gold card base. I added the "joy" die on top of its accompanying shadow die and embellished the centres of the poinsettias with tiny gold stick-on dots.
Challenges:

ReplyDeleteSusan... l love the layout and the sentiment(!). What a great way to use a stencil. Thank you so much for joining and sharing at Tic Tac Toe this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, what unique backgrounds that made and they are just gorgeous. I'm so sorry I missed your birthday. I didn't know it yesterday and I'm sending belated wishes to you. I hated missing most of the zoom but I was so tired and took an immediate nap as soon as I logged off. I hope everyone will post their letterpress cards since I missed them.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,

Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L DT
Lovely stenciled poinsettia cards Susan. I love the stickles on the first card to add some sparkle. The stars are so pretty stenciled over top of the poinsettias. xx
ReplyDeleteLove this stencil and these beautiful cards! They make a perfect background for this awesome sentiment and adding stenciled stars give it a whole different look!
ReplyDeleteSusan, your poinsettias, both stenciled and die cut, are so festive and using copper for the sentiment and stickle details was a beautiful choice to add a metallic touch. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week!

The way you used the stencil in your design is fabulous! The poinsettias and gold dots are great details too! So happy you shared this card with us at Tic Tac Toe this week!
ReplyDeleteelle est très élégante Susan, merci de jouer avec nous chez 52CCT, biz
ReplyDeleteBoth poinsettia cards are fabulous, Susan! Love the design, the color palette, the heat-embossed sentimets over the lightly stenciled image of the first card. The two little poinsettias are so pretty. The stenciling technique for the second card is interesting! Great way of stretching the use of stencils. Thanks for sharing the link to the SCS's tutorial page!
