Evergreen boughs

Hello folks

This is the last of my design team cards made for Sheena's recent shows in Germany.

I stamped the poinsettia with twinkle embossing powder onto watercolour card and added a little shading with slate Spectrum Aqua. I then coloured directly onto the stamps with my Spectrum Aquas and stamped onto watercolour card. I dragged the colour out a little with a damp paint brush and then added a little glitter to the edges of the pinecones.

I used the following Spectrum Aquas - 

• poinsettia - slate (added just to the centre of the petals)
• boughs - moss and evergreen
• pinecones - chestnut, sepia and boulder

I made the background by scribbling onto a glass mat with kingfisher, charcoal and jasmine Spectrum Aquas, spritzing with water and then blotting with a piece of watercolour card. I then embossed the card with Sheena's evergreen embossing folder, sanded it back a little and then rubbed on some Pebeo silver gilding wax.

The other ingredients used were - 

• Yuletide greetings and perfect poinsettia stamp sets from Sheena's Perfect Partners Christmas range
• Christmas foliage and poinsettia die set from Sheena's Perfect Partners Christmas range
• watercolour card
• white and silver centura pearl
• twinkle embossing powder
• evergreen embossing folder from Sheena Douglass
• sliver Hunkydory glitter
• Pebeo silver gilding wax
• dazzler from the Hobby House
