Poinsettia Elves Getting Ready for the Holidays
Good evening friends! Tonight’s card was created using a colouring method that I wrote about on Part III of Colouring with Coloured Pencil.
Cuttlebug Tip: My cuttlebug background is 5″ x 5″. I placed as much of the paper as I could into the CB folder, and embossed. Next, I placed the remainder of the paper into the CB and embossed once again. Very little of the area was smooshed down. In the areas that were smooshed, I turned over the embossed paper and coloured embossed areas with a pencil crayon while holding the paper in my hand. By doing it in this fashion, the image pops right up on the right side. Whalaa!
Leaves were punched with my Martha Stewart punch and highlighted areas of the leaves as seen in my post entitled, “Chalk Highlights on Die Cuts”.
Finally, flowers and Stickles were added to the image to give some pop.
This darling little poinsettia is one of my soon-to-be-released holiday images done by artist Jessica Grundy.
Well, I’m off to beer and wings. Thank heaven for Thursdays!
