Yey, it’s time for another CASE Study with our muse for November, the wonderful Keisha Campbell! Here’s this week’s inspiration:
Keisha certainly rocks die cuts like no one else! What drew me was the dimension from the pin wheel flower with it’s pop of colour over a neutral tag. I stamped and white heat embossed the poinsettia from Clearly Besotted Stamps’ Pretty Poinsettia three times onto vellum card stock. Then I cut out different parts from two of the flowers to layer up. Before attaching the layers to each other, I took the darkest red Copic marker I have (R39) and coloured the back of the vellum pieces. Even though I used a dark marker, colouring on vellum always comes out lighter so my poinsettia ended up being a sweet pink colour :)
I popped the poinsettia onto a tag on which I’d added a little white embossing paste detail with the Peppermint Stripe stencil from Simon Says Stamp and a sentiment from the fabulous Holiday Hellos set, again from Simon :) The tag is strung with some Hemptique twine. I use the 10lb weight which has enough structure to it that if you run it between your thumb and finger nail it creates relaxed loops and twists :) Finally the tag was attached to a patterned paper panel and the panel to a card base both with foam adhesive. Oh and I added some stickles goodness on the poinsettia as the very last touch :)
Please pop by the CASE Study blog to see the Design Team’s creations as well as Keisha’s own CASE and not forgetting our guest for November, Amy Tsuruta :)

Honest to Pete…the flower is gorgeous…need to do the white embossing on vellum and coloring on the underside….it does look more pink!! I’m learning to love fibre paste!
Positively stunning Debby!
That poinsettia is just gorgeous!!!
Absolutely gorgeous card, Debbie!
Stunning!!!!!!!!
ohmy WOW!!!! love this. that poinsettia is beautiful stamped on the velllum and colored with copics.
That is the best pointsettia I’ve seen so far this season. Everyone seems to be embossing it in gold, but I love the way you used the white.
