Visible Image - Regal Poinsettia - 3rd Sept 2023

Had a lovely time playing with the new release of Visible Image dies, went to town with black card, gold embossing powder and iridescent watercolours 😎

To start off, wipe an anti static pad over black card, stamp 3 large flowers and 9 small flowers using pigment ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.
Cut out using the new Poinsettia Grunge dies. Cut an extra 5 or 6 large flowers out of the black card (doesn't need to be stamped).

Cut a piece of black card 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", stamp the large flower using pigment ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Stamp over the edge in places.

Use pva glue to fix the black flower die cuts together. Use a little gold acrylic paint on a sponge to colour the edges of the thick black flower.

Use the sponge to edge around the stamped panel and then wipe the excess paint onto scrap black card.

Cut down 2 of the large stamped flowers so they will layer up.

If the gold embossed edge flake off, fill in the missing line with a gold gel pen.

Paint the flowers with iridescent/metallic watercolour paints.

Attach the complete painted flower to the black stack using pva glue.

Cut a strip of black card 1 3/4" and fix to the left hand side of the panel using pva glue and trim down.

Matt onto black card with a border of 1/4" and then onto a white 7" x 7" card blank using pva glue.

Stamp the Christmas and Poinsettia sentiments onto black card with pigment ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Trim down and then matt and layer into the painted gold scrap card with approx 1/16" border.
