This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch, which is always a fun challenge. Since I’ve been making Christmas cards, the three flowers in the sketch are poinsettias. 

Noel Poinsettias

Here is the sketch. Please join in the fun, and add your creation to our gallery.

First, using a Blending Brush, I colored Basic White Cardstock with Real Red Ink. Second, I used a Detailed Poinsettia Die to cut the petals, and an embossing die to make the veins of the two larger poinsettias. The smaller poinsettia was cut and embossed with the same die. Two rounds of petals were cut for each poinsettia, and attached with Dimensionals.

For the middle of the sketch, I used an Ornate Layers Die to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock, and stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen Ink.

“Noel” is from the Tidings and Trimmings Stamp Set, which fit nicely between the poinsettias. Then, I glued the middle die-cut to green, striped, Tidings of Christmas Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The final step was adding a touch of gold. The poinsettia centers are Metallic Pearls, and the sprig is Brushed Metallic Cardstock, cut with a Poinsettia Die.
