Warm Wishes

Happy Friday, all! I am on a Christmas card roll here!  My card today is for two challenges that I rarely participate in; The Flower Challenge, where they want us to color our flowers; and the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, where they also want flowers!

I pulled out Poinsettia Petals along with the mug from Latte Love and did a little watercoloring---I must confess, I wish I had used a black ink instead of gray, but it is what it is:

I used Smoky Slate to stamp my poinsettia, then watercolored it with Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Berry Burst inks.  The berries were diecut and colored also, highlighted with a white gel pen.  I happened to have a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock already embossed with this pine embossing folder so I diecut it with the new Spotlight on Nature dies, then added a diecut sentiment. It looked a little plain, so I added some gold pearls to the center. The mug was cut from some retired Dashing Through The Snow DSP.

I'll keep practicing coloring these poinsettias....practice makes perfect, right?  Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
