Hi everyone, I'm playing along with CAS Mix up and the theme is off the edge.
I stamped my poinsettia on black and then again on white card using Versamark and Ranger Platinum embossing powder. I watercoloured the black mixed media card with Finetec pearlilsed watercolours then trimmed the edge of the black. the white I left un-coloured.
I aligned the black and white card matching the poinsettia image I adhered them together with glue. I then took a Gold Sharpie and a ruler to mark the edge in gold. This is a great way to create a faux gold layer.
I'm entering this for the following challenges-

Absolutely beautiful Christine! I love this stamp and love your technique. The watercolors look amazing.
WOW! Such a creative and beautiful design Christine!! LOVE your gorgeous poinsettias and how they go off-the-edge in a unique way! xx
They are off the edge on the black and the white cardstock! Very inventive and oh, so pretty.
Beautiful! I love the way the black and white look together. What a creative idea. I'l have to try that with an image.
Gorgeous card with the white/black panels and platinum embossed flowers, Christine!!
Oh, wowie, I love how you did this, Christine! Brilliant and beautiful!
I love this, too funny, wait till you see my next CMU post :D Great minds work on the same channel LOL. You did a beautiful job on the design and of course the watercolouring. Thank you for the tip on the gold Sharpie, smart lady.

Such a wonderful look Christine with the contrast between the the gold embossed and coloured portion on the black and just the gold embossed against the white and a wonderful coordinated embossed sentiment too. An beautiful and elegant card. x

What lovely poinsettias and the gold is so pretty... clever take on the challenge Christine
These shimmery poinsettias are gorgeous on the black, Christine! I love how you've left the part of the flower on the white uncolored and the thin gold edge! Thanks for the tip about the Sharpie and thanks for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
So pretty and such a lovely technique. I can't line anything up so not sure I could do this technique very well, but I totally love your card, Christine. Hugz
