Hello Poppy Peeps!
It's Sphoorti! I'm thrilled to unveil the first card from another new series I'm developing. Currently, there are only two cards in this collection, so I hesitate to call it a full series just yet. However, I'm excited to announce that I'll definitely be expanding this set with more designs before Christmas this year—leftovers are always a win!
To start, I began by cutting out poinsettias from plain white Neenah Solar White cardstock. Using some of my favorite distress inks in colors like Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet, I distressed the petals and leaves. Additionally, I die cut more poinsettias from silver glitter cardstock. I alternated between the silver and distress-inked layers to create depth and texture.
Next, utilizing the Nordic Pattern Rings die set, I cut out three rings of various sizes and affixed them to my cardbase. I wanted to foam mount them, so I put some tape behind the rings so that the little circles in the rings don't fall out. I then arranged the assembled poinsettias around two of the rings for a balanced composition. For the sentiment, I opted for the Merry and Bright greeting tab from the ST018 Holiday Wishes Foil Greetings White Tabs set, distress inking it with the same colors used for the poinsettias. To add a final touch, I scattered pearls in matching hues, bringing the entire card together harmoniously.
Oh, also, I had a few extra poinsettias, so I adhered them inside the card too!

Love,
Sphoorti
