The Queen for the Day at SCS this week is Beverly (aka ruby-heartedmom).
Beverly has a wonderful gallery with lots of beautiful inspiration and she's so generous with her comments! Here's the card I CASEd.
I stamped the poinsettia on watercolor paper with StazOn ink and used the Marker Layering Technique to color. After it dried, I cut out the flower and leaves and adhered them to the front of the card. I can see by the photo that I should have inked the edges of the flower. Oh, well, it's too late now.
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

HOLIDAYS
We want you to create something that has to do with a holiday that is seasonal (Christmas, Easter, New Years etc), a favourite holiday destination or even a national/public holiday.
I chose Christmas.

Pixie's Snippet Playground is staying open a little longer since Di has gone visiting a Christmas fair. Since I used some Watercolor paper snippets, I'm going to see what kind of mischief we can get into while she's away! I've got my eye on that sleigh I saw sitting there. Wonder if we can find a horse?
52 Christmas Card Throwdown is asking us to chose a past challenge. This is the one I picked.
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is ANYTHING GOES!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Enjoy!

I love how you used the embossing like a ribbon across the card. Very striking and beautiful! And I thought that you had frosted the edges of the poinsettia! It looks lovely the way it is! :-)
Gorgeous poinsettia card Bonnie. Love the embossed in the background. Loll xx
Oh my...how gorgeous Bonnie!! Beautiful poinsettia - really wishing I had ordered that set sooner. Thanks so much for joining us at ATS&M and 52CCT. Great combo of the challenges.
Just stunning, Bonnie! Gorgeous colouring over the embossed background! Thanks so much for playing along at ATSM xx
Hi Bonnie, this is really gorgeous. Thank you so much for joining us at ATSM. Good luck.. :)
Gorgeous, Bonnie. I love your red poinsettia and it is colored so pretty. The embossed strip looks super duper.
Enjoyed my trip to see my son and he is doing soooo much better.
Hi Bonnie. Stunning poinsettia card. The white edge gives it a frosty and snowy feel, love it. Thanks for joining the fun at ATSM. Monika
Oh Bonnie Stunning Card! Love your Bright Red Poinsettia!! TFS
Actually, I like the edges as you have them on the flower cutout. It added a lot of dimension to the cutout (at least on my monitor!). That embossed white border is so elegant, and then to pop this bright flower on it...stunning, Miss Bonnie. TFS & Hugs.
