I changed the die-cut/embossed flowers to poinsettias and the sentiment to Christmas theme. For the main card I trimmed around the die-cut piece and attached it to a piece of patterned paper. Attached the leaves to gold glimmer paper and trimmed to fit flush next to the flower. Attached the patterned panel to a card base, added Stickles to the centre of the poinsettia, popped on a sentiment and done deal.
Since I had the dies out, I cut out two more of the poinsettia layers out of white cardstock. Used the die-cut piece as a guide to watercolour a layer to place underneath the die-cut layer. Used an aquapainter for one and sponge daubers for the other. The result was much more intense with the daubers.
Back to work on the photobooks that need to be ordered today! Thanks for stopping by!

All three are fabulous and I love that you used slightly different techniques and ink to show this range. I must admit, I am a bit more partial to the Red and Gold because it looks so elegant and Christmasy; but, I do love the more casual feel of the other two as well. I can see the using different colors behind the white cut outs and making some great birthday cards too. Fantastic trio.
