You will all be so proud of me...I only bought one new Poinsettia this year to add to my collection... Ms. Debby Hughes provided some beautiful inspiration for that purchase! I'll link her card HERE.
With a bit more time on my hands these days, I will continue to make Christmas cards... maybe one or two a day? I'd love to fulfill the number needed for the Seniors who live in my area next year.
Here are my first two using SSS Poinsettia Swag - can you wrap your head around an orange Poinsettia? This time I stamped the image in Gina K Skeleton Leaves Amalgam ink onto Canson cold-press watercolor paper.
I found a beautiful Betterpress plate [SB Poinsettia Corner] in my stash that so well
matches this swag that I used it to deboss my background
panel... here's a better view of that:
The sentiment is from the SSS set and I treated myself to the coordinating dies
and a bit of splattering fun in Debby's honor with white gouache and gold.
The gals at Four Seasons might like the color of Fall!
If orange doesn't tickle your fancy, here is a traditional red!
Stamped in SSS Fossil ink on Canson cold-press watercolor paper:
... and the inks I used to watercolor them, left off the splatters, but cut
the panel down using a stitched rectangle from PF.
I won't lie - this is a very detailed image and a Poinsettia that has the most petals I've ever seen! But really beautiful. Hope you think so, too!
