Christmas wishes for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. No posts are paid or sponsored. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a card for Paper Rose Studio.

I used the Christmas Poinsettia Coverplate metal die to make this Christmas card (only 4 months to go!). I cut the coverplate from some gold mirror cardstock. I used this diecut as a guide to create two separate panels of Bristol cardstock coloured with red and green powdered watercolour. I cut the green and red panels with the same die. On the red panel, I used copic markers to colour the bright red berries and the yellow centre of the poinsettias.  I adhered the gold diecut to a white card base, and used the diecut inlay technique to add the coloured pieces into it. I finished with a printed Christmas sentiment.

I made two cards today - one Christmas card, one art deco inspired!

 For this card, I stenciled the Art Deco Dancing Light Stencil with Embossing and Watermark ink, then embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then sprayed my panel with the new Black + Shimmer Tone-on-Tone Metallic Spray.

The next stop on the hop is the one and only Cathy Zielske - I can't wait to see what she has created!
