Putting it all together:
Take a strip of watercolour paper measuring 2 1/2" x 7", and paint strips of colour.
Stamp the full poinsettia flower twice in Petal Pink ink and colour the flowers with the Petal Pink Stampin' Blends. Die cut one using the co-ordinating die then fussy cut the top petals of the second.
Adhere the two flower pieces together and add some Basic Pearls to the centre.
Stamp the two leaves in Pretty Peacock and colour in both with Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends. If you feel you need to, use the Colour Lifter Blend Pen to add highlights.
Place Dimensionals on the back of each of the three pieces.
TIP: For the leaves, by placing Dimensionals on the outer end and leaving the inner end free, this will allow the end of the leaves to stay raised when you add them to your project.
Stamp your chosen sentiment in Pretty Peacock on a strip of Whisper White cardstock measing 4" x 1".
Cut a strip of Petal Pink cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 3/4"
Using the Banners Pick A Punch, punch each end of both strips.
Place Dimensionals on the Whisper White strip and place this centrally on top of the Petal Pink strip.
TIP: Put a drop of Tombow glue on each of the Dimensionals to allow wiggle time to get your strips lined up perfectly.
My card base for this card is 8 1/4" x 8" scored at 4" to create a slim-line card.
Take a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock measuring 8" x 1 1/2" and adhere this to the bottom half of the card front.
The watercoloured strip is adhered to a piece of Champagne Foil measuring 7 1/8" x 2 5/8".
Glue this piece over the top of the Pretty Peacock cardstock, allowing an even border on three sides.
Arrange the poinsettia and the leaves over on the left hand side of the watercoloured strip.
Your card in complete!
