Congrats, Angela! What a wonderful gallery! I chose Jolly & Joy to case. I kept the holiday theme, button embellie and central word panel, but only used 2 of the colors, changed the images and embossed my background in place of dp. This is also for Tues color challenge, CC296.
For my background, I brayered white c/s using only the turquoise ink from a Kpad, white embossed the lg poinsettia bg image then used bleach and a fine acrylic paint brush to bleach out a few of the flowers. I could have used turq. c/s, but some c/s do not bleach completely to white and I knew the Kpad dye ink would bleach totally out. I backed it w/ a narrow red mat and attached it to a 5.5 x 4.25 white card.
The mistletoe tag was white embossed on turq. c/s and die cut using the ODBD tag die. After embossing the sentiment on white, I used markers and a water brush to quickly add the color. I used a corner rounder on it and the white mat underneath it.
I embossed 2 poinsettias, colored them w/ the markers and die cut them w/ the poinsettia die. Parts of the second flower were layered on the first and a red button was glued to the center. The rest of the poinsettia petals were attached below the tag.
Thanks so much for looking! Enjoy your day, Angela! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
