For the SCS March Christmas Card Challenge ("poinsettia or other Christmas floral"), I decided to make three cards using one inking of my poinsettia stamp. This is the third generation stamping.
I originally inked up the stamp with Distress markers, spritzed with water, and stamped on watercolour paper (for the results of that first generation stamping, see one of my other cards posted today). Then for the second generation stamping, I re-spritzed the stamp and stamped (see one of my other cards posted today).
For this card with the third generation stamping, I just simply restamped (I didn't re-spritz). Because the stamp was now drier, I got a bit more definition than the second generation stamping.
I re-used the mask from the first card and stamped the text stamp over the poinsettia. I spritzed a bit of Distress Tarnished Brass spray and then dropped a few larger droplets on it. It's bordered with copper cs and the centres of the flowers are embellished with copper stickles.

All your poinsettia cards are beautiful, Susan, but this is my favorite. Love the watercolored look of the flowers and the bg you have given them. Truly a gorgeous Christmas card.
