Season's Greetings Poinsettia- The Flower Challenge


Good morning.
Meet my first holiday card of the year.  
Yes, I'm way behind as life has gotten in the way.

It's also time for more fun at 


I used the middle diagonal themes- Gems, Watercolor, CAS.

So, I began by placing this lovely Penny Black poinsettia called Red Star into my Misti,  coloured directly onto the rubber with my Tombow markers, sprayed with water and stamped.
I repeated that process starting with the lightest shade of marker and adding some darker color until I was happy with the impression.  I also used my Prismacolor Pencils to add additional detail to the flower centers and blended that out using a wet paintbrush.
I stamped the sentiment using my Misti again and clear heat embossed it.
To add interest to the background, I stamped the PB Script using Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it.
 Lastly, I rubbed the whole piece with Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress ink.



Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look!
