Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC273 ~ Holidays!

Welcome to Mitosu Crafts. It's Jay here with the Paper Craft Crew challenge #PCC273. This Holidays themed challenge is running for 2 weeks, so if life is a bit hectic at the moment pre-Christmas, there's always next week to craft and join in the challenge

For my project this week, I took a few elements from the inspiration photo and I created this poinsettia card using the leaf dies from Orchid Builder Framelits

A6 cardbase

Basic Gray mat 14.3cm x 10cm

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper layer 13.8cm x 9.5cm

Basic Gray strip 13.8cm x 1cm

I stamped the twigs on Wood Textures DSP with Early Espresso ink, some in 2nd Generation (stamping off technique)

I wrapped Gold 1/8" Ribbon along the Basic Gray strip then along a stick to get the curls by using the Heat Tool

I used the Leaf Punch to get 2 Tranquil Tide and 3 Vellum leaves

To create the poinsettia, I stamped the leaves from the coordinating photopolymer stamp set, Climbing Orchid, with Cherry Cobbler ink on Real Red cardstock then die cut

I shaped each leaf using the side of the Paper Snips then used the 1" Circle Punch for the base

I applied Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the circle base then arranged the leaves to look like a poinsettia. I worked with the bigger leaves first, leaving a bit of space for the smaller ones in the middle

For a bit of sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the poinsettia and vellum leaves then added the large Gold Faceted Gem

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments in Tranquil Tide ink. Punched with the Classic Label then snipped the ends before adhering with Mini Stamping Dimensionals
