Did you know that I was in the running for Fun Stampers Journey's Designer Showcase? It is their new Design Team! I previously shared with you the projects that I made for round 1 and have been waiting to hear back on the projects I submitted for round two. Where they would announce the team they selected. It was announced yesterday via a live Facebook video. And JOY of JOYS, I am one of the new Designer Showcase team members!
I am overwhelmed with the announcement. I am filled with joy and just feel so blessed! I thought I would share with you one of the cards that I sent in for this round of submissions.
I used one of my most favorite Christmas stamp sets in a long time, Poinsettia Burst, from the just released Journey Holidays Mini Catalog.
Poinsettias, holly and pine bow, this makes me so happy. Not to mention there are dies to cut it out! For this card I wanted to "sugar" the poinsettias. I love the look of all things glittered a Christmas time. So, that is what I did to my flowers.
To do this I added some Journey Glaze to my flowers and then gently sprinkled them with some Sparkle Cuts. I did each flower and leave one at a time. Then set them aside to dry.
Then I set to work on my card. For the top green layer of the card I use Green Olive card stock and embossed my saying with clear ink and clear powder. Then, I sprizted the card with Gold Splash. You can see how the saying took on a vintage look after being spritzed.
To put the card together I layered up all the pieces of the poinsettia with foam squares. Added the printed paper from the Christmas Cheer collection onto a piece of Cranberry Bliss card stock. Once that was mounted to the card I tied on some Special Day Organza Ribbon.
For the very last step, I added some Journey glaze to the printed paper and to some punched out circles that I mounted on the car, to be "berries".
We will be making a version of this card at my upcoming Poinsettia Burst Christmas card class on Wednesday, August 23rd.
