Sketch Saturday - Poinsettia Petals

I was so excited to see this week’s sketch was a slim line card. I used the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and coordinating Poinsettia Dies to make the focal piece for the card.

Isn’t this a great sketch? It’s for the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

The poinsettias were cut from the Snowy White Velvet Sheets. I used Red Foil Sheets to cut those little dots for the centers. They turned out so pretty; the picture doesn’t do them justice.

Tips & Instructions

  • Evening Evergreen Card Base - 7 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 3 3/4 (slim line card).

  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper - 8 1/4 x 3 1/2, adhere to card base.

  • Basic White Cardstock - punch with Tailored Tag Punch, stamp sentiment. I covered the “Merry” with a Post-It Note and inked up the “Christmas” with Real Red Ink. Remove the Post-It Note and stamp on the label. Clean your stamp and repeat covering Christmas this time.

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock - punch with Tailored Tag Punch, cut in half horizontally, spread apart and adhere to back of the label creating a border.

  • Cut 5 small poinsettias from a Snowy White Velvet Sheet using the Poinsettia Dies. Cut 5 sets of the tiny dots using the flower center die from a Red Foil Sheet.

  • Adhere 5 tiny dots to the center of each flower using Liquid Glue. I used the putty side of the Take Your Pick Tool to help with this.

  • Cut 4 small leaves from Evening Evergreen Cardstock.

  • Cut 1 berry spray from a Red Foil Sheet.

  • Adhere the leaves and spray to back of the label. Adhere label to card and adhere the poinsettias to label using Glue Dots.

  • Add some Wonderful Gems to card.
