I can't believe it but it is time for my my first Christmas card of the season! This week's challenge at
CASual Fridays is to create a clean and simple project using embossing. While over at
Dynamics Duos this week's colour are Cajun Craze & Always Artichoke which I translated into PTI Terracotta Tile & Ripe Avocado. I pulled out two rubber stamps that I purchased when I was in University. They are by Magenta which is a Canadian company. The stamps are so old that they don't even have names, only numbers. The two flowers paired together make the most beautiful poinsettia in my eyes. I went with both dry embossing on the Ripe Avocado layer and heat embossing with tinsel embossing powder.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: Kraft, Ripe Avocado, Terracotta Tile
Stamps: 29OBN, 29O12P
Ink: Ripe Avocado (PTI), VersaMark (Tsukineko)
Impression Plate: Herringbone
other: foam dots, Tinsel embossing powder (Recollections)
Georgeous card. Love the embossing on the flower. Love how you paired the two flowers to make a pointsettia. The herringbone bacckground is perfect. This card is very designer team worthy.
