I stamped the large poinsettia image from Simon Says Season Of Joy on to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card, inked with Simon Says Intense Black and heat embossed with Simon Says Clear Embossing Powder. I began by applying a layer of water, picked up the colour from the well and dropped on to sections of the image, letting the water work it's magic. Once I had completed the first layer of colour on the flowers, I dried them and began to add more layers of colour, drying between layers. I repeated the process on the leaves and dried thoroughly. I used a large brush to apply a wash of Antique Linen to the background and the heat embossing provided a barrier preventing the colours of the image mixing with the background.
I separated the words on the stamp set with masking tape and stamped with Candied Apple on the top and Black Soot Distress Archival on the bottom. I placed the snowflake stamp from the set on a small Tim Holtz Grid Block, dipped the Antique Linen Distress Watercolor Pencil in to water, applied to the stamp and stamped repeatedly over the background.
I inked up the same stamp with Hickory Smoke Distress Archival and stamped on top of the original images.
I added splatters of Distress Resist Spray, sprinkled with Simon Says White Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set.
I inked around the edge of the panels with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink using a mini round blending tool, fixed the panel to Simon Says Fog Gray cardstock and fixed to a white card blank.
