When the theme is poinsettia based you can probably guess my favourite bit of stash I am going to gravitate to … yes the Alex Syberia dies I am obsessed with … and so here they are! Although this Christmas in July I am going to try and only use them this once! I promise I will put them away after this use or otherwise there is a danger they will come out at least once a week!
I decided to also turn today video into one where I get the colour cube to dictate the colour scheme … so I used the random generator to choose from the Christmas themed section in cube one and it chose 215.
I cut everything for the card from white cardstock and then used alcohol markers to colour all the elements.
I stepped up the large berries by silver embossing them (I love the bobbly texture I got as they look almost fluffy!) but left the rest of the elements just coloured with the alcohol markers.
Then the background panel I die cut it from white but turned it brown by using a mix of the vintage photo ink and the Early espresso ink. It’s quite a rustic finish for the background die but I think it works.
I adhered everything pretty much as the die set inspiration suggests and then chose to stick this flat onto the card base which I cut down from a 6×6 square to be slightly larger than the die cut panel.
Next I cut a banner and added the sentiment on top. The sentiment was already die cut and ready to go so it was an easy option as this is quite an involved make when you do everything for the panel. Worth it though!
As for the colour scheme I must admit I would have liked a different colour than the brown but I think it still works! So thanks again colour cubes for pushing me to do something a bit different.
Happy crafting!
