Welcome!!  Thanks for stopping by to enjoy my Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Card.

This week’s featured stamper on Splitcoaststampers.com was Christine Alexander (aka – calex).  She certainly deserved this recognition as her gallery displays gorgeous artwork featuring many techniques.  

I selected this sparkling poinsetta card to case. As soon as I saw the card, I knew it was the one for me to case as I love cards that feature poinsettias. The only similarity between Christine and my cards is a poinsettia.

I used the Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Stamp Set  to stamp the poinsettias with VersaMark® Watermark Ink, cover with white embossing powder, and heat set them.  I cut out the vellum poinsettias with the Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Die.

I colored the back of each poinsettia with a blue ink and the leaves with green ink.  I glued two or three together to create the flower.  I used three sets of the poinsettias on my card.  The center pieces (i.e., stamen) are covered with yellow prills.

As you can see in the above photo, I used a border die to cut at an angle the background piece.  The background is from the Heartfelt Creations Snow Kissed Collection designer paper (what a beautiful collection of designs).  I cut the top portion of the paper at an angle using the Heartfelt Creations Fleur Border Basics Dies.  I joined the two pieces and covered the back with a wide Be Creative double sided tape. Then I covered the die cut section with  Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear granules for sparkle.

I attached the elements to a Neenah Solar White Card Stock card base and added a sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Uplifting Scriptures Stamps.

Now that you have viewed my Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Card, what are your thoughts about it?

God’s Blessings!

1 Peter 1:3-5

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade – kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.”
