GRAY AND RED CHRISTMAS

The October challenge at CAS Christmas is to use gray and red.  My first thought was to use a red poinsettia but then decided to go with white and use the gray and red in other ways.

 

I used a little gray ink to shade the white petals and the gray leaves.  Added some glossy accents to the red berries and some red Nuvo drops for the center of the poinsettia.  Stenciled the subtle plaid background in gray. 
 

Thanks for stopping by today.
