Today's CAS colors (watermelon) spoke Pointsettias to me - lol. I guess because I need to get started on Christmas cards :-) And I thought this image would work perfectly for the TLC Embossed Watercolor technique.
Thanks for taking a closer look - hope you like it :-)

One of my favorite poinsettia images and you watercolored it so well, Barb. This technique was perfect for that image.....and now you have your Christmas stash started. : )

I've been making Christmas cards along with the Merry Monday Christmas challenges and Christmas Stampin' all year long on Fridays. I have quite a few made already, and I have to tell you, Barb, it really feels good! But for today I made my first Thanksgiving card....I love how your dp resembles your poinsettias, to me anyhow! I love the whimsy.....and your colors are so soft and pretty for these rather bold poinsettias! Beautiful~

I've always preferred softer colours for poinsettia, so I think that this is perfectly lovely. The background paper adds such a rich, festive feel too.

Oh, the lucky people on your Christmas list. This is stunning, and that is from someone who is not overly fond of pointsetta. The softer colors you used makes me rethink my pointsetta aversion. Everything about this card is lovely. Into my faves.
