Since anything goes this week, here's my anything! I started w/ a piece of water color paper, a handful of Distress Ink pads, a teflon craft sheet & water spritzer. I started by pressing the pink inks onto the craft sheet, spritzing w/ water then dabbing part of the water color paper onto it. I dried it w/ a heat gun, then did the same with the teal, blue & greensÂ…one at a time and drying in between colors. Then I stamped the Poinsettia bg on top w/ the Versafine & used an opaque cream marker to color in the centers & a black marker around the edge.
I used the Poinsettia & Leaf to stamp the big single poinsettia a couple of times on ivory, colored them w/ Copics & fussy cut them. The small poinsettia (from the big background image) was done the same way. I thought it looked a little too busy, so I added a narrow strip of blue vellum down the side before adding the poinsettias. The Joy die was die cut 3 times out of the cream & twice out of black to shadow it.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This has such an elegance to it, and I think the vellum is the perfect touch to bring it all together. I love using multiple cuts of "joy" to make a strong statement on the card. Beautiful way to play this week's challenge!
