I created another card a while ago using the Tattered Poinsettia dies by Tim Holtz along with stamps from Designs by Ryn, but this time I used traditional Christmas colours.
I used Evergreen and Festive Berries Distress Inks with water to create the background. I over stamped with Seaweed Set to create the 'branches'. I also sprinkled white and gold embossing enamel onto the background and heated underneath with a heat gun. The die cut flower is coloured with Festive Berries DI and the Sea Bubbles embossed with gold. I painted over the flower with Viva Kristal Gel.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,
Shirley

This is absolutely beautiful Shirley. I just love the colours. Di xx
This is another beautiful card Shirley and the Poinsettia with its patterned gold embossing and the Krystal Gel certainly makes a statement centrepiece. I love the pretty distress inked leaves and the sames colours used in the background with the pretty stamping, and the spots of embossing enamel give it a true Christmas feel. Glad your weather is so good and you are enjoying the summer. x
Wonderful card Shirley with beautiful traditional colours and images

A stunning Christmas card Shirley, the poinsettia looks gorgeous with the gold embossing and the branches fron the seaweed set goes perfectly. Just goes to show how versitile Ryns wonderful stamps are. Hope the garden isn't keeping you too busy and you are out and about enjoying life.
