Altenew Build A Flower Poinsettia watercoloured with distress inks + Antique Gold crisp embossing powder | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I heat embossed the Build A Flower Poinsettia from Altenew with Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder onto watercolour paper. I used distress inks as watercolours.

I have shown how to layer this Poinsettia flower to make it look more fuller in THIS post.
I did the same technique again for this card.

There is tons of dimension on my card. The leaves and flowers (and some petals) are all on different levels.

Gorgeous card! I love the way you layered the poinsettias. I love dimensional cards and I do a lot of fussy cutting (can't afford the coordinating dies) and popping up on my cards also.
