Poinsettia

 Poinsettia 

stamps used:  MFP poinsettia, sayings from various stamp companies

I actually got out my embossing powder!  Haven't done that in years, but had to go back to basics for these holiday cards.

Basic instructions

1. Stamped poinsettia image with clear embossing ink.

2.  Sprinkle gold embossing powder over stamped image. Heat with embossing tool till melted.

3. Make a mask with masking paper or post it note.  Place mask over image.

4.  Add darker color of cardstock over masked image with any blending tool.  Remove mask.  See the image pop!

5.  Stamp and emboss saying.  Adhere to card.  

6.  Adhere stamped layer to gold metallic cardstock, then adhere to base card.

I created slimline and A2 card for this technique.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.
