Welcome, friends! It’s Heather Rubert back on Paige's blog and I’ve got another Christmas layout to share! This time I used one of the Acrylic Stamps from Sugarplum Wishes and Paige’s Joy Joy Joy cut file to make a funny, festive page.
The main feature of the page is a stamped and watercolored poinsettia wreath. I took the Acrylic Stamps and I stamped two full sheets of poinsettias onto smooth white cardstock. I used waterproof black ink to make sure my outline wouldn’t get washed away during the coloring process. Then I got to watercoloring, using a combination of plain watercolors and Lindy’s Gang magical powders (I used the colors Pretty in Pink, Salt Water Taffy, and Berliner Filling Fuschia). I love the sparkle added to the flowers! I cut a large circle from dark green cardstock and backed it with white cardstock. Next I fussy cut all those poinsettias and arranged them in a wreath design around the hole in the green cardstock. For an extra pop of pink, I cut the Joy Joy Joy cut file from the pink plaid paper in the Sugarplum Wishes 6x8 Paper Pad. The whole cut file wouldn’t fit on the page, so I cut off just one “JOY” and topped it off with a bow from the Ephemera Die Cuts. For the funny subtitle “...OR NOT” I used just green letters from the Mini Thickers to coordinate with the rest of the page. A couple more embellishments and white acrylic paint splatters finished up the layout!
