This is for the CAS Christmas challenge. You can find the link here. Since I acquired a few new poinsettia stamps I knew I had to play. I used my MISTI to stamp this after coloring small sections at a time with Memento and Tombow markers. Jill Foster does a wonderful job explaining this. It does take quite a few impressions to get good coverage. So fun to do. I did try and shade a bit directly on the stamp before stamping. I splattered a bit of red after stenciling the background.
Thanks for looking and hope you join us.

Nancy, this card is awesome also! I love the coloring of the beautiful red poinsettia. The pale stamping on the panel is fantastic and adds volumes to the card. I'm so happy to see you in the galleries!!

I have been trying to figure out how you made my birthday card, and now I know. Another tgecnique that you are a master at. The soft stenciling makes a terttific bg. I love how the little bit of shading turned out.
