I am very much inspired by non-traditional Christmas colors lately, and aqua being one of my favorites colors made its way onto this simple Christmas card.
I used my regular size MISTI and stamped the Holiday background in Simon’s embossing ink onto a panel of white cardstock. I added white embossing powder and heat set it to melt. I used two colors of Simon’s dye ink to add color and did a resist ink blending technique. I started with High Dive at the bottom and Spring Rain at the top. I’m not going to lie, this background was heavily inspired by Laura Bassen.
I am also in love with the new Poinsettia stamp set. They are like snowflakes, you can never have too many! I stamped it in Simon’s Intense Black ink onto X-press It Copic Blending paper and colored using several Copic markers. There are coordinating dies available and I used them to cut my images out.
I foam mounted the poinsettia and the leaves onto the ink blended panel which I had previously adhered onto an A2 top folding card base.
I didn’t want to add any additional sentiment as the background says it all. I did however add a few small and medium clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh as little dew drops to finish this card.
