To add to the fun of the challenge it's CAS Christmas' 2nd birthday and there are some prizes to be won.

Prizes:

Here is my card for the challenge, I used the Berry and Blossom poinsettia and sentiment stamps from Magenta. I like to have some non traditional Christmas sentiments for some of my friends and this is one of my favourites.
I stamped the images on kraft mixed media card stock using Versafine Clair nocturn and clear embossing powder then coloured the petals and berries with Fine Tec metallic watercolour paints.
I will be making a few more of these for Christmas as they were quick cards to make.

Prizes:

Colleen is our host this month and she wants us to create some cards with winter flower


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.
