My second card with Festive Poinsettia again. I've stamped the beautiful poinsettia onto watercolor paper using Sand Dunes Altenew ink and watercolored with my favorite watercolors. Then, I die cut the image with coordinating die.
Then, I watercolored the background with some orange and beige watercolors and once it was dry, I adhered the poinsettia with foam tape onto my panel.
Next, I gold heat embossed the sentiment and finished my card with sparkling sequins.
For my next card, I stamped the layering berries from Bountiful Branch stamp set onto kraft panel using Altenew inks and colored the image with Prismacolor pencils.
Next, I white heat embossed some stars from Starry Night stamp set on top of my panel and splattered it with white paint.
Then, I took my wet paintbrush and went over them with just water to blend them and give them a watercolored look. I die cut the word Joy a few times using Caps Bold Alphabet die set and adhered on top of my panel.
