Welcome to Kittie’s Korner. I can’t seem to get enough of making poinsettias for my cards with the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die set. I really enjoy pairing framed sentiments with floral embellishments and Christmas cards give me the perfect opportunity. I have white card to share today with beautiful poinsettia floral sprays anchoring two corners of a gold embossed sentiment. The rich red flowers and green foliage pop off of the white background and the stark colors create wonderful contrast.
I used Nestabilities Lattice Rectangles to create the double layers on my card. The sentiment is Rubbernecker’s Wishing You The Hope and was stamped with versa and gold embossed. I popped the sentiment layer up on mounting tape for added dimension and to build the poinsettia sprays on. The holly and pine foliage in the spray were both created using Martha Stewart punches. The flower centers are tiny rhinestones but I don’t think they show well in the photo. Here a couple other views.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will come back tomorrow for our Tuesday With The Team.
