Do you have stamps that you just like re-using over and over, with different type of colouring mediums, different colours etc. The poinsettia stamp that I used for this card definitely belongs to such stamps. I already used it few years ago on my old blog, I will include the video below. This poinsettia stamp is actually a background stamp, so it's really big. These stamps are expensive and trust me it took me a long time of deciding if I really need it, before I pressed the purchase button. Nevertheless it was well worth it, especially if you are like me and enjoy colouring, but don't like these overly detailed images.
I stamped it using the Tim Holtz stamping platform as I needed to re-stamp a few times. I used the Versamark ink for the stamping and then I sprinkled the Metallic Brass embossing powder over it and I melted it with my heat tool. Of course before all the stamping, I used the antistatic powder tool, to make sure I don't have any powder sticking where it's not suppose to.
To colour the poinsettia I chose watercolours. Originally I was planing to stamp in black and colour with alcohol markers. I have the markers from Altenew, but sadly they dried out or run out of colour very quickly. I'm very disappointed with that! I managed to make one card in red and it looks really cool. However, I was thinking using watercolours as well, as the colouring takes less time.
The card stock is the Canson XL watercolour paper. It's not the best card stock, but I like it as it's cheap. What I don't like, is that sometimes the water just sits on it. If this is something that bothers you, just try different watercolour card stock. I used red for the colouring and some green. I started with a darker colour on the outer leaves and then I used a lighter or brighter red on the inner leaves. I also painted a few of the outer leaves green and for the inner part I used golden paint. By the way you do not need to use reds, poinsettia comes in many different colours.
I let the panel dry and then I adhered it on top of a white card base.
Lastly I adhered a sentiment that says Season Greetings. It is a small stamp and I think it fits perfectly. I stamped and heat embossed it in white on a black card stock, cut it into a small banner and adhered it in a corner of the card, using double-sided foam adhesive.
