Red Poinsettia

I fussy cut two poinsettia and layered them to give dimension, then added Viva Decor gold peal pen to the centre and popped it up on some foam dots. I wanted a lots of white space in my background as a contrast to the bright red flower.

This is the cult card with poinsettia! I love the great deep color of the flower, and using the same color for sentiment is a great idea. A perfect Christmas card!

WOW! That poinsettia looks like it is enameled. What intense color you achieved from distress inks. How beautiful this is!
Bright and very beautiful. Love how you've coloured the stamp and also stamped it in the red...fabulous effect. CAS perfection x
Wonderful true intense red - often so hard to achieve in watercolouring! Love the layering of the poinsettia, the matching red sentiment, and just the hint of gold in the centre.
I love that your poinsettia has a big presence even with the simple color palette! Neat fussy-cutting and beautiful layering too!
