Hi everyone, whilst poking around in my Christmas stash to find some inspiration, I dug out this Visible Image Poinsettia Grunge stamp set which has been pretty neglected - in fact although I often use the sentiment from this set, I reckon I’ve only ever inked up the flower once before back in 2023! I must admit I’m not usually a big fan of poinsettias, but I rather like the offbeat quirky look of this one with the script writing on it, and since it last came out to play I have acquired my Zig pens which are ideal for colouring it with.
I die cut a wavy stitched square of white card and stamped the focal flower, then masked it. I stamped co-ordinating background script text and spatters, then removed the mask and coloured the flower with Zig pens topped with Wi k of Stella, and gold Posca in the centre. I added white Posca accents then matted the finished piece onto a red border and card blank before adding a stamped sentiment.
