I'm still playin' with Melanie Melanie Muenchinger (melmel)'s new set for Gina K. called A Year of Flowers. This poinsettial is so life-like...it was super simple to color in. I watercolored with SU! Real Red classic ink, but went over the whole image when complete (and dry) with Vintage Photo Distress ink to knock down the brightness. The little crystal in the center are from Impress. They are the most pretty shade of brown...and I'm almost out of them...and I couldn't find them on their website. Ack!
Thanks for looking!
