Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's been a crazy busy week with doctor appointments and cataract surgery
but I managed to get this done and just realized that one of the challenges that
inspired this card is about to close.
I used mixed media paper to stencil on so I could use a damp brush on the ink
for a watercolor look.
When the flowers were dry, I splattered with a bit of white gouache.
The sentiment pieces were colored with a light hand and the ink left on the brush.
Challenges:
ABC Christmas - Use Unusal Christmas Colors
Flower Challenge #96 - Add a Stencil
Just Us Girls #749 - See Mood Board (inspired by gum drops bottom center)
Peace on Earth #73 - See Mood Board (inspired by colors)
Card Recipe
Stamps: Gift Tag Greetings-Winter (Studio Katia)
Ink: Peach Parfait, Crisp Cantaloupe, Certainly Celery (SU), Vintage Sepia (VF)
Paper: Mixed Media, Neenah Natural, Pale Papaya
Other: Poinsettia Duo Layering Stencil (TH), Burlap EF (HB), Classy Frame (PB), White Gouache
Enjoy!

Hi, Bonnie! I'm so very happy you thought about us at The Flower Challenge while getting back on the crafty horse! Such a lovely, stenciled group of Poinsettias in these pretty peaches!
Something is awry with my Outlook at the moment and I'm unable to reply to emails - but I did get yours! Hope you have continued progress with your eyesight after surgery, my friend! I hope your world is even more clear and colorful! xx

Beautiful peachy poinsettias. Love the embossed background framed sentiment. Glad your cataract surgery is over and went well. I also had mine done several years ago, a simple surgery and it went well. Hugs.
I love the peachy tones for your beautiful poinsettias Bonnie, and a lovely shaped sentiment mat and finished with some pretty spattering. I didn't realise that you were having cataract surgery but glad it went well and hope everything is much clearer and colours truer now. x
Absolutely beautifully stenciled Poinsettias Bonnie, and they look so pretty in the peach color! One of our garden centers has all different colored Poinsettias at Christmas time, and now I'm wondering if they have peach colored ones that I could bring home for the holidays?! But back to your card...it's GORGEOUS and I'm loving your burlap embossed background too! Also glad to hear your surgery went well and that the cataracts are gone!! Lots of hugs my friend!! :0)
What a great take on our Peace on Earth mood board! I love the peachy coloured poinsettias! Nice treatment of the sentiment too with the fancy die cut shape. Thanks so much for joining us at Peace on Earth.
This is gorgeous! I LOVE peach--probably my favorite color--and these poinsettias are beautiful! Awesome job on them! I hope your cataract surgery went well, too!
