POINSETTIA

I felt like a little ink smooshing today and created a background with some Karin markers in purple, blues and pink.  Then decided to go for a non-traditional color card for the CAS Christmas Challenge (poinsettia).

After creating my background and spattering with water, white gouache and gold, I embossed the poinsettia and highlighted it with white pigment ink and a finger dauber.  Also added some of the gold metallic paint to the poinsettia centers.  Mounted on a white card base along with the little sentiment and a few gold sequins.

I am also entering my card at Watercooler Wednesday where the theme is "all about occasions".

Thanks for stopping by today.
