The CAS Christmas team and our Gueast Designer is Linda (scrappinstampinsingin) all hope you play along.

Her is my card for the challenge. 
I stamped the splatter circle background in Hero arts white on black  Mixed Media card stock heat set the ink. I then stamped the poinsettia in Ranger archival and coloured it with a mix of Pearlex and Gum Arabica. The red picked up some white ink and made the poinsettia a little pink so I let it dry and painted over it. I re stamped the flower and sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturn and heat embossed in clear embossing powder and added some gold liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers.
