Super Saturday at Magenta: Swirly Blossom Poinsettia with Prismacolors

 Hi everyone! I'm over at Magenta today, and you can see that post here.

I've been having a lot of fun with the Swirly Blossom Poinsettia stamp, which I've been coloring with Prismacolor pencils in some of my favorite blends.


I started out by cutting some of my favorite cardstocks for coloring using The Greetery Crimped Frame die. The one above is Strathmore Blue Tone Mixed Media.

I stamped all of the cards with the Poinsettia image using my MISTI stamp platform.


Leaving the stamp in the MISTI, I took all of these panels and colored them with my favorite Prismacolor combinations of blends. 


Since I knew I was going to emboss over these, I was just trying to get some nice color blends laid down under the embossing.


After coloring, I stamped over each panel with Versamark ink and embossed in gold or silver, depending on the colors. It's very important to add powder to the panel before you stamp and emboss, since embossing powder really likes to adhere to colored pencil.


I added a sentiment to each card at the same time, using the same color of embossing as the flower. The above card was done on PTI Enchanted Evening cardstock.


I added gems to some of the flowers, which are very sparkly in real life. This card was done on PTI Pure Poppy Cardstock.


This card was done using Strathmore Tan Tone Mixed Media cardstock


The above card was again PTI Enchanted Evening cardstock. I really like this dark blue with the turquoise blends.

I even did one on a green shaving cream technique panel. I didn't take an individual picture of it, but you can see it in some of the group pictures above. You can also see that technique tutorial here. The post where I made the green ones is here. The Prismacolor choices on that one would also be good on white.

I'll list the colors I used on each color of cardstock, in case you are interested. I hope you like these! I'm getting close to having enough Christmas cards I think.
