Stampin' Up! Wonder of the Season meets Poinsettia Petals for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, today for our blog hop we have a sketch challenge. I used the fun scrappy strip technique with the Wonder of the Season DSP for the background of my card and The Poinsettia Petals Bundle worked beautifully to add some glamor to the card to finish off the look.

The sketch:

Stampin’ Up! Wonder of the Season meets Poinsettia Petals:

The recipe:

Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Panel: Brushed Metallic in Gold 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

Mat: Shaded Spruce 4 x 5-1/4

Scrappy Strip panel: Shaded Spruce 3 x 5-1/4

The details:

Cut diagonal strips of the Wonder of the Season DSP
Cut diagonal strips of the Brushed Metallic Gold DSP
Using your 3 x 5-1/4 piece of Shaded Spruce DSP glue the strips of DS to the front of the panel (leaving a tiny space between each strip) The strips will hang off the edge of the paper
After you strips are all glued on, turn the panel over and using your paper trimmer, trim all the strips flush with the card panel
Emboss the the 4 x 5-1/4 Shaded Spruce panel with the Dainty Diamonds EF
Adhere your scrappy strip panel to the Shaded Spruce panel

The flower:

Emboss the images with White Embossing Powder and heat set with your heat gun.
Die cut the images out with the Poinsettia Dies
Adhere the two layers of poinsettias together with a glue dot
Die cut 3 leave using the die from Poinsettia Dies and your Brushed Metallic DSP

The sentiment:

Stamp your sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set with Shaded Spruce Ink onto Whisper White card stock
Die cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Die

Putting the card together:

Adhere the gold panel to the front of the card
Wrap a piece of the gold cord around the scrappy strip panel
Attach the scrappy strip panel to the front of the card with Dimensionals
Adhere your sentiment to the right hand side of the card, on top of the gold cord
Adhere your poinsettia with glue dots
Tuck in the leaves under the poinsettia and adhere with glue dots
