stained glass poinsettia

 

 
I love recycling other items for my projects, you know that right?  So when I had a gift bag with was red poinsettia's  that blew out on the side ... I didn't throw it out. Nope, not me.  I decided it would make wonderful backgrounds (and more) for paper crafting. 

This week's Etsy Inspired store this week is Ling Glass shop.  Ling Glass has a variety of jewelry pieces - vintage style pendants, rings, and earrings all made from stained glass and soldered wire.  Just beautiful!

Their red pieces were my inspiration for this card:

 

The pointsettia is stamped on watercolor paper, then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  I watercolored the image using Riding Hood Red and Garden Green (both from SU).   I added Judikin's DG3 - a clear gloss similar to SU's Crystal Effects.

The details:
Stamp:  The Angel Company (TAC)
Ink:  Kraft, Riding Hood Red, and Garden Green
Cardstock:  Kraft
Accessories:  SU ribbon and background is cut from a gift bag
