Christmas in July poinsettia 1

This is the first card I made. I struggled getting the leaves in a decent arrangement. I kept trying another in the top left corner, but I didn't really like it so I moved the sentiment to the top, rather than the bottom left where Therese put hers.

I followed a video by Therese Calvird for inspiration for this card, part of the Card Makers Summit.
I used the dies to emboss the top panel then spattered with gold, as suggested by Therese.
I watercolored paper in red and green and spattered both with gold before I die cut the poinsettia shapes.


Stamp : Stampin Up sentiment and banner die
Dies : Spellbinders poinsettia
Embossing powder : Brutus Monroe Gilded (sentiment)

Koi watercolors for poinsettia, spattered with Gansai Tambi yellow gold.

TFL!
Thanks for the challenge Daria!
