Day two in my Christmas in July 2025 challenge and this is also my design team contribution for the Make your Mark challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
I decided for today to do a sketch …
Please feel free to use the sketch and let me know if you share your make so I can come and see it 😀
I went very bold and bright card inspired by my sketch and as I had the poinsettia stamps from waffle flower in mind when I started with the sketch it came together quite easily.
Originally I thought that the panel under the floral element I would be done with ink blending but instead I decided to add some foiling using the Dina Wakely press plate. I love this!
I kept the sentiment easy by using one that was already stamped and die cut and stacked. I added a label underneath. The green didn’t quite go with the green of the stamping – and so I then decided to mount the red panel with the darker green cardstock – when I did this it helped that there were three different greens.
I then added the glittery gems to finish off!
Love this card – so rich and modern with the traditional colours and that pop of gold.
Happy crafting!
