Greetings lovely peeps! I have a card to share today, using lots of red, with shimmery gold and a teensy
bit of white.

JT030 Victorian Greetings Set of 6
SS085 Fairy Tale Set of 5 (inside)

**See below for details for how to get 45% off the Fairy Tale Set and Big Flourish stamps I used inside the card!
I started with Arteza watercolor paper, and used distress ink with ink applicators to cover the paper with downward swipes of pink and red distress ink. When fully covered, I sprayed a fine mist of water over it to let the colors blend and soften. When that was dry, I sprinkled droplets of water onto the background, then wiped them up with a cloth, to create soft whitish splotches.
I stamped both poinsettia images from the Poinsettia Set randomly onto the panel, using the same pink and red inks.
I used white pigment ink to stamp the Merry Christmas verse from the Victorian Greetings set. Finally, I added some white acrylic paint dots with a stylus tool, then spattered on some gold FineTec paint.
I layered the panel onto a panel of gold glitter paper, then onto a red A2 card front.
Next, I white embossed the smaller poinsettia from the set onto a scrap of red card stock, and painted it with FineTec gold paint, then spattered the same gold onto the panel. I love, love, love this shimmery, shiny paint.
I added this to a gold glitter panel, then a white panel, with a scant 1/16" border, just to bring in a tad more white to offset the white splotches and embossing. I added this to the card with foam tape to give the card some dimension.
For the inside, I used gold sparkly embossing powder for the verse from the Fairy Tale Set of 5 set and the Big Flourish stamp. These are the stamps in the reduction sale. See details below.
I hope you like my card! Now for details of the amazing sale:

Such a classically elegant card, Lynda. Great paper layering to highlight the poinsettia. tfs
