Christmas Cards 2022-Oct-06

 Hello there,

Are you making Christmas cards yet?  I am.  Today's card features LDRS Layered Poinsettia Die Set.  The background panel is one of many left over pieces that didn't quite work for the originally intended project, but it works here.

I first painted a watercolor panel in crimson with various values, and another in green.  After they dried I sprayed with mica stain.  This gives that wonderful shimmer.  I then die cut both flower and leaves, applied archival Acorn ink to some area to make them darker; assemble and adhere to my prepared card front.  And added the sentiment strip.
