Evening all!
It was lovely to see another one of my card projects for Waffle Flower's Christmas in July release shared on their Instagram earlier this morning, so I'm just popping it on here too!
Stamps: Waffle Flower - Elegant Christmas 2, Waffle Flower - Royal Mail
Dies: Waffle Flower - Elegant Christmas 2, Waffle Flower - Postage Collage, Waffle Flower - Lacy Layers 2 (r), Waffle Flower - Poinsettia Cluster
Stencil: Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Snowman
So for this card, the Poinsettia Cluster die with all that lovely foliage is definitely the star of the show. I wanted to go with a frosty and cool colour palette for an almost vintage-inspired look.
But I couldn't resist a pop of diamond glitter in the centre of the Poinsettia.
The backdrop to that bloom was created with a now retired scallop die that just gives that vintage postcard feel, and I really went to town with the pearlescent white and gold Gansai Tambi paint splatter.
Once that was dry, I created a stamp for the corner to go with the Royal Mail postmarks by blending the snowflake image from the Postage Collage Snowman stencil set onto one of the stamp dies in the Postage Collage die set.
After sticking the stamp down, I added the postmarks with Slate ink for a softer look and once the Poinsettia was stuck down I added the Christmas Blessings sentiment from the Elegant Christmas 2 set.
And there we go! I think this is a layout I will replicate in future for the Poinsettia Cluster dies, and perhaps just mix up the colours. :)
Until next time, happy crafting!
