SSS Poinsettia BG-All Colors!

I am entering this card in the SSS Flickr Challenge.

 

This is actually the first panel I made with the SSS "Poinsettia BG" stamp and the Altenew Metallic Watercolors (see previous post for the second panel). I couldn’t decide which colors to use, so I decided to use most of them! The panel turned out way too busy and was a shimmery mess. I had toyed with the idea of tossing it, but decided to see if it grew on me overnight. Then, and please don’t think I’m a stalker (well, I am, but in a non-scary way), but I saw Carissa Wiley's IG story yesterday that included a shot of her at home. Behind her was a multi-hued painting in a gold frame. I thought the colors were not dissimilar to the panel that was sitting on my desk. That’s when I decided I’d snip the panel down and make it look like a painting on a museum wall. I couldn’t capture the dimension very well in these pictures, but the painted pieces are recessed under acetate, and the frame is raised up by 2 layers of foam in one and 3 layers in the other. I should have remembered – if it’s too busy, snip it! I got 2 cards out of the panel and can probably get one more, but I’m tired and need a cookie. 😉
