Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
For this card, I used a purchased mask and sponged some Iced Spruce DOX
inside the mask. I added just a hint of Picked Raspberry too. Then I
splattered it with some diluted white gouache paint. I love how I have nice
crisp edges that I can't seem to get with sticky notes.
I've added some frames and a little die cut, sponged and shaped poinsettia from
my stash.

ReplyDeleteWonderful background, I love that hint of pink and those fine frames xx
ReplyDeleteThe rectangular masked shape is just perfect Bonnie and love the colour and the added white gouache splattered snow, and which goes beautifully with the prettily coloured poinsettia and glittery sentiment, and what a great idea to add the frames to pull everything together..so different. x

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Bonnie! I love the double frame effect. Thanks for joining Arlene and me at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a creative design! Love your poinsettia. I would never think to create a design with frame dies which I now have thanks to your inspirational cards. Love the neutral colors on the background too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous poinsettia card, Bonnie! LOve the pretty flower and the gorgeous background! A hint of Picked Raspberry and the white gouache paint splatters definitely make the beautiful background even more beautiful and add depth. The tilted thin frames soften the rectangular layout and make the card look playful!

You are absolutely right, your edges are very sharp and beautifully lined up. White gouache beautifully diversifies your blue-gray background. Perfect for those beautiful poinsettia.
