This was done for Dina's second off the edge wallflower challenge and although I have a few introvert Eeewitspeopleyout there type sentiments it turned out too pretty to go snarky. I ended up keeping all the ribbon tails like a package instead of a bow (these are taped to the back side of the plaid print) and grabbed a brown pencil to add some shadows to some of the petals. I did mostly stamp the colors on top of each other wet, but the one time I decided to take it out and hit it with the heat gun of course I got the next segment off set because, I had it floating in the middle to have the flower go off the edge lol. I decided it looks fuller that way. This was shot wet and will get a smooth white liner later when dry. Thanks for this challenge Dina & tfl.

This is gorgeous - I love the ribbon treatment and whatever cord you used to attach the tag - I was searching through my stash today hoping I had something like that, but no... and the poinsettia is just stunning. I'm pinning this beauty! Thank you so much for playing along with my Falliday Fest challenge!

Wowza stunning poinsettia and the yellow really works so beautifully with this red. I am going to have to pull out some yellow when I work with red as this is really beautiful.

The misted French script in the background is just gorgeous with the equally gorgeous poinsettia! Snarky just wouldn't fit with this beauty! Love how you tied the ribbon like a package by tucking in those tails!
