For the Mixability challenge, I used watercolour paints, embossing powder, splattered paint, Wink of Stella, and brushos.
I stamped, heat embossed, and watercoloured the poinsettia on watercolour paper, then stamped it again on masking paper and fussy cut the flower and leaf. I went over the stem with masking fluid.
I then sprinkled brushos and spritzed with water. I moved some of it with a paintbrush around the image and left some areas around the edges with white showing through. I added a few splatters of the green paint I used on the leaf.
I finished off with a stamped and heat embossed sentiment, then went over parts of the flower with clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.
I die cut my panel into a rectangle and angled it over a black cs rectangle. I'm trying to break out of my box of keeping everything straight and symmetrical on my cards!

Great job on coloring that poinsettia- very nice shadings . . .the center looks like you may have affixed some tiny black beadz but that must be an illusion cause I don't see that listed in your description. . . . Love the intensity & randomness of those brushos bgs.
