MTTCC 113 - Glittery Poinsettia

Welcome to My Time to Craft Christmas Challenge 113!

The theme for this challenge is "smooshing". That means to smoosh cardstock into inks to create a background. 

I used shades of blue for the background. I pushed the ink pads onto my work surface and spritzed them with water. A piece of watercolour cardstock was used to pick up the colour. I also splattered that piece with both silver and white paint. The poinsettia pieces were die cut and lightly inked with shades of grey. I sprayed them with a mix of water and Perfect Pearls and set them aside to dry. The centre piece was coloured using a silver gel pen. The poinsettia was assembled when it was dry and added to the background. I placed four strips of silver glitter paper across the top corner and added two hot foiled sentiments using foam tape. Some silver glitter gems were placed around the flower. 

Come and join us at MTTCC and show us your smooshing projects. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy, 

Alyson
