Isn’t this just beautiful?! If you look closely, you’ll see that the embossing powder has glitter in it! I received a container of Brutus Monroe’s Embossing Powder of the Month called Christmas Eve and it’s absolutely gorgeous! A beautiful deep red powder with bits of golden glitter! Naturally, I had to use my newest Stampendous stamp, Create A Pointsettia!As always, I began with a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock and stamped out the image with Versamark, then heat-set it with Christmas Eve embossing powder. Using my Aqua Pigment watercolor inks, I began to paint, adding layers and layers of color! I used just Red, Blue and Yellow, mixing colors to get the perfect shades.When the panel was complete and dried, I spattered droplets of water to get the cool reactive pattern which you can really see on the blue background! I left the larger berries white but filled in the smaller ones with Gold Nuvo Drops.My final step was to trim down the watercolor panel with Stitched Oval dies, then cut a larger oval of Glitterstock and adhered the two together. I mounted them to a simple off-white card base and decided to leave it as is, allowing the pointsettia to take center stage! I just love the added shine of the glitter in the Christmas Eve embossing powder! I may add a sentiment to the front, or just stamp one to the inside of my card. Thanks for visiting!
