I made this for today's color challenge, Grannies and Brides do the Mambo. I don't have any of the SU colors so I subbed with Distress inks listed above. I was also inspired by LoveRibbons card yesterday, Gallery at Splitcoaststampers, Poinsettia in July. I stamped in silver ink using a mask to stamp the leaves and embossed with silver ep. I used the distress inks to watercolor the poinsettia and leaves. I used green and magenta pencils to do a little additional coloring to touch up the image, then applied spatters to the card. The sentiment was stamped in Picked Raspberry and misted lightly with water to coordinate to the watercoloring. I die cut a stitched rectangle frame and attached to the cream card base. Lastly I added Nuvo drops.

Beautifully done! Wonderful Christmas in July card with the challenge colors. I like the silver embossing and the green frame. The watercoloring is awesome. TFS
