Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of white card and used the
Cerulean Blue waterclour ink randomly across it. I used a
gold paint pen and tapped it with a ruler to get a splatter of gold across the card. Using the
Classic Poinsettia die set, I made three poinsettias of differing sizes out of white vellum. Before assembling the flowers, I used
Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish on the petals. I attached the flowers in a cluster in the corner, then added
Evergreen Branches cut out of white as accents. I cut the
Noel die out of Antique Gold card and added an offset shadow cut from gold Mirror card. I glued the sentiment to the top of the card. The card was completed with white and antique gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" X 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. I'm not sure, what am I not sure about? I'm not sure. It's one I need to visit a few more times today before I know if its a design I like xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, love the very modern and abstract look of this card, easy to re-create. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card thank you, it looks as though a storm is brewing.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely card this morning, I like the watercolour inks and have a few of them, they give such a depth of colour to your project, and with the gold drops scattered around it makes a lovely backdrop.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and everyone a very beautiful card I love the shimmer of gold on the flowers and the gold speckles in the background. Not sure that I could pull off this look, but it does look fab.

This is another one for me that I’d like to see in real life I think
ReplyDeleteI love vellum poinsettia and use them every year with the other sets that match the classic ones
Yet another lovely modern card. I keep looking at all your wonderful Christmas creations but still have yet to start making mine! WakeyL
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. A lovely fresh looking modern type of Christmas card today. Personally I prefer the traditional kind ... But I know this modern type suits quite a lot of the younger generation. I love how you say tap the gold pen to make the splattered little dots. I tried it ... once ... what a mess it went all over the place except the card I was working on lol. So I gave that a miss. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
ReplyDeletePLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Love this card with the random splash of watercolour (it's quite hard to be random). I would usually use silver with blue but you have shown that gold works with blue just as well!
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteYou always make ‘random’ look beautiful when I try it looks a mess lol!

The love I have for you has become a core part of who I am, and I couldn’t be happier about anything else.
ReplyDeleteI don’t mean for this to sound shallow, but damn you’re beautiful. Genuinely, drop-dead gorgeous. I have a hard time believing you chose me every time I look at you.
Without you, I’d have no direction in life. I know this for sure because I was lost and alone before I found you.
I wished for my life to be better, and then I met you. That wish couldn’t have had a better gift for me.
