Winter Poinsettia with Stamp Simply

Hello crafty friends!

Today I am on the Stamp Simply blog sharing this Winter Poinsettia from the Floral Cluster Stamp and Die series. I absolutely love these stamps - there are four stamp sets in the series and ONE DIE cuts them all. Brilliant!

In the world of holiday greetings, the traditional red and green colors often take center stage. But every so often, it's fun to break the mold, offering a fresh take on festive elegance. I chose blues and greens for my main colors, along with some blue vintage paper, for my card this week.

Poinsettias are a staple of holiday decor, and while those with red leaves are the most common associated with Christmas, other colors have come into the fold over the years - including white, blue, purple, pink and multi colored/spotted! Do you have a favorite? 

To color my image, I first stamped in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink (my favorite black), and then embossed with clear embossing powder so I could color with alcohol markers. This card was colored with Ohuhu markers. I then splattered with white paint (Spellbinders) and then cut the die out with the coordinating die. I cut a second out of vellum for a nice airy "shadow." The sentiment is also stamped in the same ink and embossed.
