Welcome to week 18 of the heart of Christmas Blog Hop. It's November already and we will be finishing at the end of this month so make sure you visit all of our hops to see all of the inspiration we have to share with you.
For tonight's card I have used the Merriest Moments Bundle.
I stamped a variety of foliage in Shaded Spruce and Just Jade ink. The dots in the background are Mint Macaron ink.
The poinsettia flowers were stamped in Real Red ink and then cut out using the coordinating dies. The center of the flowers are Crushed Curry ink.
The greeting was stamped in Real Red ink and punched out using the Everyday Label Punch.
Before attaching the greeting with Dimensionals I added a couple of pieces of Soft Succulent ribbon, cut in half length ways, behind the greeting.
The card base is Shaded Spruce and the mat is Real Red.
It's now time to head to Caroline Manwaring's blog to view her amazing project.
I love how you've used this bundle, Rachel ... I'm rather guilty of neglecting the stamps, other than the sentiments, and they're gorgeous. Your use of the three greens in your stamping is really pretty, and those bold poinsettias, and the sentiment, look fabulous. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteAnother clever and different way to use the Merriest Moments bundle Rachel. Your poinsettia clusters are fabulous. I love the way you have stamped the leaves and greenery straight onto the card base but then built up the dimension and texture with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever way to use this bundle Rachel and a great colour scheme! All the elements come together to make a very striking card.
ReplyDeleteA lovely layout with those 3 poinsettia clusters. Great colours on the clean white base makes for a beautifully striking card.
ReplyDeleteLove the placement of the Poinsettias Rachel and the various greens used in your foliage to add depth. A lovely card!
ReplyDeleteA truly lovely Christmas card Rachel. A beautifully stamped sentiment and I love the ribbon treatment behind it. The colours are beautiful too.
