White card panel cut to 5 ¼ x 4

White card panel cut to 5 x 3 ¾

· Stamp 2-3 greenery pieces and the sentiment from the Gina K Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set in black ink on the remaining part of the A2 white panel.

· Stamp the large Gina K Peaceful Poinsettia on a white A2 panel in black ink.

· Using the Gina K Peaceful Poinsettia stencil, start by blending the greenery pieces using Gina K Spruce Ink (and Cranberry for the berries).

· Using the Gina K Peaceful Poinsettia stencil, ink blend the poinsettia using Gina K Spruce and Cranberry inks. Start with the lighter colors and then add dark inks in specific areas.

· Color the middle of the poinsettia with the Altenew gold gel pen.

· Die cut the greenery, sentiment and poinsettia.

· On the 5 x 3 ¾ white card panel, Ink blend areas that will surround the poinsettia using the Gina K Sea Glass ink

· Lay out the greenery, Poinsettia and sentiment on the panel that you just added Sea Glass to. Adhere with either liquid glue or foam tape. Cut off any parts that are hanging off the panel.

· Attach this panel the 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 black panel and then adhere this to the A2 Cranberry card panel and then that to the A2 card base.

· Finish with the Gold Metallic pearls.

Instructions – Card 2:

· Put the white 4 x 5 ¼ card panel into the stamp wheel

· Layout the trees from the Gina K Christmas Greenery Stamp Set on the 4 x 5 ¼ white panel so that it allows for a sentiment. Pick this up with the top of the Stampwheel.

· Stamp the trees with Gina K Lucky Clover ink all over and then Christmas Pine in the middle, using a detail blending brush to even out the lines. Stamp this 2-3 times using both inks. Let this set for a few minutes to dry completely.

· Clean the stamp, but leave on the Stampwheel. Use anti-static powder over the panel. Then stamp the trees using Embossing ink.

· Once this is stamped, remove the panel and add clear embossing powder (Brutus Monroe Icicle Embossing Powder). Using a heat tool, melt the clear embossing powder.

· Let this cool. Put the wavy mask cut on the previous card along the bottom part of the trees. Attach with some low tack tape.

· Start ink blending the top part of the panel using Gina K inks: Lovely Lavender, Powder Blue, Blue Denim and In the Navy. Once blended, use a towel to wipe off any excess ink on the trees.

· Use the Brutus Monroe Sterling Shimmer Splash to add spatter to the top of the card panel.

· Remove the mask from the bottom of the panel.

· Use some Gina K Sea Glass ink to blend a shadow at the base of the trees. Use an alcohol marker (like Copic B00) to add line in the bottom snow.

· Stamp the sentiment on the panel using black ink.

· Adhere this finished panel to an A2 black card panel and then attached that panel to an A2 card base.
