Hi Everyone Colleen our host at CAS Christmas card Challenge is calling for some winter flowers in the challenge.
To add to the fun of the challenge it's CAS Christmas' 2nd birthday and there are some prizes to be won.
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.

Beautiful poinsettias Christine. So pretty done in metallics. xx
Look at this! It's so pretty! I love the stamp and the sentiment, which suits me just fine for Christmas. Love the gold shimmer on the blooms!
Not the typical poinsettias but beautiful with that stunning shine to them. That is a great design too.
I love the golden glow of these sweet flowers. This makes the card very elegant.
