Peaceful Poinsettia Again

Hello, Crafters.

Today, after many requests, I finally relented and made a

 video called Tour of my Craft Studio! Obviously I don't have

 any editing to do, so it will go live Sunday morning. 

Today's card has been inspired by a card I saw in the Stampin' 

Up! demonstrators' quarterly magazine called Stampin' 

Success. I used Real Red as my base colour, and die cut the

 poinsettia, leaves and berries using three of the 

Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits Dies.

The dies were: the first one did the leaves and berries 

around the poinsettia, the second dies was the poinsettia,

 and the third one was the leaves and berries die which I 

used for the bottome right-hand corner. 

I took a piece of Garden Green Cardstock (CS) and a piece

 of Old Olive CS, and die cut using the two leaf and berry

 dies as before. This gave me two more top layers already

die cut - just the flower head to be done - as well

 as four pine branches in each of Garden Green and Old Olive.

 I used them to decorate the top of the oval Christmas

 Wishes sentiment, which I had painted using the Garden

 Green and Real Red Marker Pens.

 I've quite surprised myself with today's card because I like

 it even though it's very busy! The card I saw in the Stampin'

 Up! magazine had a red layer under the top red layer, and

 I liked how it looked but not enough to copy it!

 I chose to use the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper - now

 replaced by Sparkle Glimmer Paper! - so that the die cuts

 were really accentuated, and I think it's worked well! 

To decorate the inside of the card, I used the two corner

 dies on the bottom of the top layer. In comparison to

 the front of the card, I think these die cuts look very

 bland and I'm trying to think of something to "glitter"

 them up with! 

 If I come up with a good idea, I'll photograph what I do 

and will share it with you tomorrow! I hope you have a 

lovely relaxing weekend, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
