I have another Christmas design to show using a favourite Poinsettia stamp by Penny Black (Christmas Star). It hasn't been out of it's drawer for a play for long time. I've given lots of stamps away over the past few years but some I just can't part with including this gorgeous one. It's great for 'fancy cutting' or 'decoupage'.
The background was a sheet in my stash that I had inked up with Dylusions sprays. I added more colour and design using a few stencils with both Distress Inks and watered down white Acrylic paint. I also added some little circles using a little tube with white acrylic paint and silver embossing enamel here & there.
I stamped and embossed the poinsettia twice with silver, fancy cut and layered as shown. I added a few Tim Holtz die cuts and glued beads to the flower center.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend,
Shirley

I love the colours Shirley and that great sized poinsettia and with the pine branches behind in white which make the flower stand out and the pretty beads for the flower centre it is finished beautifully. Love the white acrylic stencilling in the background and the silver embossing too. x

Gosh, Shirley, you have such a way with stamping. Your Dylusions bg is absolutely stunning and looks so good with the poinsettia. Love this a lot!
I still think this is one of two most beautiful poinsettastamps...And in these colours it looks so earthy... Enjoy the rest of the Sunday!
