Christmas challenges

I couldn't resist the Merry Monday challenge with those wonderful colours turquoise blue and red.
I used a recollection poinsettia with it's layering die and clearly besotted sentiment.  I also played along with the Merry Christmas Challenge.

I stamped the poinsettia twice and coloured both with zigs watercolours.  I die cut cut the outer petals and the centre allowing me to layer them.  If you want more of a 3d look use an embossing tool and go around the edges, this gives shape to the image.  I stenciled the background using a strip of drywall tape clarity burshes and distress inks. I also used a little glue to add the sequins.  The clearly besotted sentiment was stamped in SU real red ink and the berries were covered in Viva Decor clear pearl pen.

I hope you play along and enjoy my post 😅
