Falling for the Holidays 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Sneaking in another!

 This may be my last post for the Falling for the Holidays 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party! I have been neglecting my housework all week! LOL While I agree that housework is overrated.....my husband doesn't agree! ;)

These two cards came about after I saw a video posted with this amazing technique using this beautiful set! I have had it a while, but *gasp* never inked it up! So this was the perfect opportunity! 

I added the second two pictures to hopefully show the gold ink splatters that just shimmer!

Started with a full sheet of white cardstock (8 1/2" x 11"). I have since realized that I should have used WATERCOLOR PAPER! Oh well, next time! I then grabbed the Painted Poinsettias stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. and a sheet of acetate. I smooshed some distress oxide inks in both lumberjack plaid and crackling campfire onto the sheet and spritzed with some water. I added the largest poinsettia leaves to an acrylic block and inked it up with the watered down distress oxide mixture and stamped it randomly all over the sheet. Next I took the smaller poinsettia leaves and inked the lumberjack plaid ink onto the stamp directly and stamped it over the watered down inked images. Then the yellow centers were next. The green dots were stamped first on scrap and then onto the panel with distress oxide in lucky clover. Cut the sheet up into 4 and used the scallops and rectangle nesting dies from Unity to make them prettier! As I said above I smooshed more of the lumberjack plaid, some forest moss and some champagne pigment ink onto the acrylic block and added water to add more splatters! The "merry christmas" die cut is also from Unity and while I was looking up all these items to link here....I see that the poinsettias stamps and phrase die set are being offered in a bundle! Cut the background with vellum and the letters with gold sticker paper (game changer)! Unity makes it almost too easy to create such beautiful cards!
