Penny Black Brush Poinsettia

Hello ! How is your Monday going so far ? The weather is beautiful here which makes me almost like fall. It generally isn't my favourite season ! Did you do any stamping on World Cardmaking Day? None here unfortunately but I did some yesterday.


This is a holiday type card that I finished yesterday while taking breaks from cleaning out the garden for winter. The embossing folder is new - Marc brought it home from his latest travel. What a sweetie !

The poinsettia is a brush stamp from Penny Black. I have always loved this series ! I heat embossed the image twice - once using pink embossing powder and once using green. I then cut out both images and added some stickles for sparkle.


The swirl design was done freehand with a paper pricker. I felt that the edges needed a little somethin' .


I am finishing up some birthday cards today and hoping to enjoy some of the nice weather. Winter will come soon enough here !

Have a great day !
:-) Barbara

  5. Barbara, I already commented on your SCS gallery but I just had to come by and see the close ups! The musical note dp and the paper piercing in the corners are superb.
