Pink Poinsettia

I have enough Christmas cards.

I think I do anyway.

But I love creating Christmas cards so I'm keeping on.

When I saw this Festive Friday prompt, 

I thought of the poinsettia pieces I had seen in my UFO box.

I love the pink ornaments on the green tree.

Then I got really inky and did some backgrounds

using Loll's saturated watercolor technique.

• (Drops of reinker on craft mat,
• Spritz with water,
• Drag paper through the ink,
• Dry,
• Drag through again,
• Repeat until have the saturation you want.)

I had green fingers for days after doing this.

I need to remember to use gloves next time.

Or not......

I borrowed Loll's favorite layout too.

And I think maybe it's close enough to the sketch at

Happy Little Stampers

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

ANYTHING GOES

Always a favorite.

I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

All our daughters, their husbands and children were able to come this year.

It's the first time we'd all been together at one time in several years.

We even got a photo.

What a happy day!

Glad you could stop by for a visit.

Enjoy!
