Teeny tiny poinsettias

Good morning everyone.  Just a quick post this morning.  This is for my Verve challenge VLVSEP02 with a twist.  There was not a particular sketch to follow, we just had to make a "tiny" card.  I made a set of these using the newly released Peaceful Poinsettia from Papertrey Ink.  Love this set, and as some of you may know, I love and own quite a few Poinsettia stamps.  I started by inking up one of the many poinsettia images with SU Purely Pomegranate ink.  I literally took the cellophane off of the ink pad this morning as I had never used it.  I had these tiny 3 X 3 note cards from SU that I had also never used and saw the PP note cards, so that determined the colour combo.  I embossed the front of the cards in a SU e.f. that is recently acquired and I love the detail in the impression.  This dp is also SU and I used the MS scalloped lace border punch on it.  The poinsettia image was cut using my Spellbinder Blossom die and I used the next 2 sizes of the set to make the frames for the poinsettia to rest on.  All edges were sponged with PP and I placed a K and Co. dark pink rhinestone in the center to finish off.  I also stamped the tiny envelope flap with a trio poinsettia stamp from the same PTI set.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Cheers,

Chriss

Early bird celebration!

Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping in today.  I was able to play this morning and as a really great starting point, I saw the VLVSEP01 sketch for the September Verve release.  It was hosted by Julee this week and along with her sketch, we had to use small circular items.  I have small circular items, but which to use...?  I really narrowed it down to these rhinestones.  I set them in the little holes that the MS punch makes in the center of the embossed flowers border.  

The image I used is from PaperTrey Ink and I stamped it in SU basic gray classic ink.  I coloured in with my Copics, cut out, put dimensionals on the back of the image and mounted on an oval that I used a classic nestability on.  The edges were sponged with SU So Saffron (as were all other edges of the borders) and the borders were made with the wide MS scallop and the embossed flower scallop.  The sentiment is also PTI and cut out with my SU word slot punch.  Here is a close-up of the flowers and jug.  The rhinestones are from K & Co.  The twill is MS from my stash.  The lovely paper is Cosmo Cricket from the new "Early Bird" mini deck!

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great Friday,

Chriss
