Hello there. I’m back today to share my guest designer (GD) reminder card for Christmas Craft Creations (CCC) April challenge - Non-Traditional Colours.

I am loving layering stencils lately, so I pulled out the new Festive Poinsettia stamp and stencil sets from Alex Syberia Designs (ASD) to create my card. I wanted to use it this past Christmas, but my order didn’t arrive in time. Anyway, here’s my card.
On Bristol paper, the poinsettia image was stamped with Fade Out ink for a no-line colouring look. Next, coloured the image with two gradient colours of dye inks each in turquoise and grays using blending brushes. Die cut the image out with an A2 Stitched Rectangle Set 1 die from My Favorite Things. For some sparkle, applied clear shimmer to the poinsettia flower petals and for a bit of texture, splattered with diluted white gouache paint.
Joyful by CZ Designs from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) was die cut from black glitter paper and its shadow from regular white cardstock. Assembled the card onto a white card base, then added clear jewels from Memory Box to the poinsettia’s center to finish.
I would like to thank Charlotte and the CCC teams for having me GD. For more inspirations and to link up your entry, please click HERE. Thank you for stopping by.
