I've been enjoying quality time in my craft room and still in Christmas card mode. I had a lot of fun creating the card below using Tim Holtz products.
The background started with Distress Inks on an acrylic plate, spritzed with water and then 'smooshed' the plate onto mixed media card stock. I added layers using stencils, Distress Inks & gold and white acrylic paints. I also stamped with a little star cluster by Crealies and spattered white paint over top of it all.
The flowers were coloured with Distress Inks, spritzed with water, crushed, molded and finally I spattered gold paint on them. I added white Prills to the centers. I also splattered gold paint onto the 'greens'. I painted the Wish die cut with gold paint and edged a little with Distress Ink.

The splashes of gold really shimmer Shirley and I never tire of seeing Poinsettias.
Hope you have a good weekend.

This is gorgeous Shirley and I adore the distressed look to the flowers and the pretty gold and white spattering and the lovely complementary gold gothic looking script sentiment. Enjoy your weekend. Take care. x

Wowza. The gorgeous flowers in all their spendor colour looks nice against your green distressed background. I admire your talent and you are such an inspiration. I haven't quite got to making my Christmas cards as I"m expecting my first grandbaby (a girl) and I'm busy knitting a pink bunting bag for the Nov 26 shower. Enjoy the rest of our weekend my friend. Hugs.
Wow your flowers look stunning again! Love all the colours!
It is a bit wet and totally gray here; would be a day to stay in my craftroom, but I'll go to the Irish folkmusic festival here in town later on... Have a relaxing sunday!
