I paired the Poinsettia Stamp Set with the new Union Square Frame for this simple, yet beautiful watercolored holiday card. I love the look of embossed florals with watercoloring.
I trimmed a 4" square from watercolor cardstock and stamped poinsettias and the greeting from the Poinsettia Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I colored in the images with Gansai Tambi watercolors. I love the richness of these watercolors. I used the 30 Cadmium Red and 54 Olive Green for the poinsettias. I added The Champagne Gold from the Starry Colors Gansai Tambi Set for the background of the design. Once the background was dry, I splattered droplets of watercolor over the background with the Red Gold watercolor.
I die cut a gold foil frame using the Union Square Frame die and adhered it over the watercolored background. I finished the design with Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins and Gold Mini Star Confetti.
