I pulled out this set and was actually all set out to do a Christmas card but changed my mind last minute. I stamped all the images using Blackout ink and masked them to create a cluster of the poinsettia. I love that in this set there are three different sizes. Whenever I do clusters of floral images, I prefer different sizes so it looks more natural.
Once I colored my images, I knew that the top left hand would look really empty so I grabbed one of my red distress inks and softly blended the color concentrating on the corner. To finish off the background panel, I pulled out some metallic watercolors and splattered a combination of red and gold paint.
For my sentiment, I built it using a couple sentiments from the Hollyhocks stamp set. I stamped them using Juicy ink on black cardstock and used Gold Rush embossing powder for heat embossing.

One last touch I added was some black gems around the sentiments and floral cluster. I kept it limited to maintain the clean and simple look.
I’ve had this set for awhile now and it’s about time I use it. You definitely can use the stamp set for Christmas or an everyday card. I hope you get inspired to create!
