Merry and bright


I was inspired by the beautiful inspiration at the Uniko challenge (Celebrate with optional twist of gold). I stamped using the poinsettia and sentiments by Uniko, heat embossed the poinsettia in white and water-coloured with the colours in the photo.


Linking up at a total of  5 challenges:
CAS Watercolour - Christmas Florals and/or Greenery
Less Is More - Metallics
The Flower Challenge - A Special Occasion

Thanks for looking!

How clever to use the colours from the bokeh inspiration photo to create your beautiful watercoloured poinsettia. The colours look AMAZING together! This is very artistic and beautiful card, Sue! Great design with your watercolouring showing through the circle aperture. The gold embossed sentiment is the perfect finishing touch! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx

Thia is sooo beautiful, Sue! You captured the Bokeh essence and transformed it into this gorgeous poinsettia. Totally thinking outside the box. Love the way you watercolored the flower, leaving the white space.
