It's Boxing Day and I've got more Christmas cards for you as we should all still be feeling festive!
Double D wants "Red and White". Here's what I made:
This was very hard to photograph because of the red mirror cs that I used for the embossing folder! A very quick card with some layering and the "joy" sentiment die on top.
Then Once Upon a Time challenge asked us to be inspired by a book called The Legend of the Poinsettia.
I did two variations with the same stamp:

In both cases, I watercoloured the poinsettia postcard image, using the pale gold paint included in my Gansai Tambi paints for the background and flourishes for the first one (the gold is more shimmery IRL than it looks in the photo) a pale blue wash for the background for the second one. I fussy cut them and added them to the card bases that I'd dry embossed to frame the image. I added gold gemstones to the centre of the poinsettia and clear ones to the centres of the snowflakes.

Supplies for card 2:

love your embossed red card- soooo pretty and your vintage image in the second and third is a stunner ♥
ReplyDeleteThat red embossed mirror card is just stunning. I love the star over the j. Beautiful post cards with the embossed edge all around.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Susan. LOVE the red embossing with the white framed sentiment. So gorgeous. And I love your postcard cards ... it's so fun to see the difference by just changing up background colours. Both versions are lovely, my friend. Hope you Christmas was Merry! Love, Loll
ReplyDeleteSusan these are stunning love the red embossing so gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous red and white JOY card, Susan! The shine of the red mirror cs is amazing, and you caught the pretty shine in the picture. Love the dry embossed background and the pop of the white die-cut sentiment with a frame. The card is so festive and fun!
ReplyDeleteYou made a great variation of the poinsettia postcard cards. Your watercoloring is beautiful, and I love the nostalgic feeling of the cards. Wonderful choice of the embossing folder, perfectly matching the poinsettias (and swirls) in the postcards!

The red foil embossing is beautiful, Susan! The white joy die cut stands out beautifully! Love the poinsettia scene! I love both of the colored versions! Thank you for the beautiful Christmas card! The white trees are so pretty against the beautiful night sky!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, that embossing folder is stunning with the red metallic card. Lots of fabulous work here. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon.
