Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge

Okay.  What do you get when you give a girl the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Poinsettia stamps and dies, and the Avery Elle Laurels set?  This:

MFT background stamp; Distress inks for water-coloring
Inside:  "... most definitely the berries!"
Why yes, you can see I'm still obsessing about blueberries ... I think that Poinsettia works - don't you?  I LOve to use Christmas-y sets in a new way ... do you? 

I'm sure I have a few more [hint, hint] that I will love to use for the Mix it Up Challenge ...

thanks for the visit ... always my pleasure!

    Mmmm-hmmm. I like this one very much, chum. The watercolored (non) poinsettia in that green is fabulous, and the blues are the perfect companion for it. Can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve. Mmmm-hmmm. Bev

    LOVE the color combo and I think the poinsettia works perfectly as a non-traditional image.

    I'm going to start looking at my Christmas stamps in a whole new way now, Michele. I love the background stamp and will definitely start using mine more. I'd say you've inspired me a lot with this creative lovely.

    Wow, loving this card Michele! I love that you can think out of the box so well, wish I had your imagination! Your poinsettia works perfectly for a non traditional flower and I love how the middle looks like blueberries-one of my favorite fruits! The color combo of this card has me swooning too, I just think these colors are so perfect together! You've done it again my friend! Hugs, Brenda

    I love green and violet or is that a dark blue either way blue/violet with green is a favorite combo. Pops beautifully.
