Today's card features the Sealed Poinsettia Stems from the Sealed 3D Christmas Collection. I don't think I've made a card this clean and simple in years but I'm loving it and don't know why I don't design this way more often. After all, it was my signature style many years ago when I first started blogging. For instance, these two cards come to mind: Smarty Pants and Merry Fitness. I'll always love them! ;)
One reason I wanted to keep this card so simple was to show off the stunning pressed poinsettia and foliage. Using the same colour palette as my corresponding guest post on the Spellbinders Blog, I cut the card base from the Nested Postage Labels from Poppy cardstock and the stitched mat from Nectar cardstock. Before adhering the stitched mat to the card base, I pressed the Sealed Poinsettia Stems with coordinating Nectar ink.
Next, I used heat foiled one of the sentiments from Sealed Poinsettia Stems with Speckled Aura Hot Foil on Juniper cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. I wanted to add a bit of Tidepool into this card so I created a shadow using the slightly larger circle from Bouquet Full of Joy. I tied a bow using the Vivant Circle Metallic Cord and popped on the sentiment with black foam squares. Bouquet Full of Joy is a very similar set to Sealed Poinsettia Stems and includes the stunning heat foiled bow you see in the sneak peek below.
