Happy Wednesday,Here's another of my demo pieces form Sundays shows on Stamps to die for I wanted it show with this demo that stamps to die for don't have to be used solely with the dies!
I used the shaded poinsettia stamps set for this one and simply stamped the 2 largest flowers form the set over the edges of three squares of card. Next I added thin black borders around each piece and foam mounted them together rearranging the pattern so that it matches.
Hopefully you can see what I mean form this next aloe up picture.
For the front of the card I cut a smaller square of coconut white foundation card and and stamped at sentiment at the top right and the smaller poinsettia stamp at the bottom left. I hand cut the bottom edge around the flower then added a piece of double sided adhesive sheet and diamond sprinkles ( well it is a christmas card if a subtle one)
Finally I added thin mat of black and hand cut it around the flower to match.
Ingredients:
Stamps to die for shaded poinsettia
coconut white foundation card
red geranium archival ink pad
double sided adhesive sheet
diamond sprinkles\
Enjoy...
