A great Ways to Use It Challenge! We were to go into our favorites gallery and choose something that inspires us and DO IT! I've seen Kittie's gorgeous poinsettia clusters time and time again (here is her most recent one:Peace and White Poinsettias by kittie747 at Splitcoaststampers) and decided I'd try my hand with this die to decorate this die cut stocking (a new toy from SU). I haven't mastered her details yet, but did sponge the edges of the flower with Cranberry Crisp ink and rolled them slightly with a petal roller tool. Edges of the leaves were sponged with Always Artichoke ink. I omitted the punched ferns and kept a simpler look with only 2 large holly leaves. I tend to forget to look in my fave gallery, so this was a great reminder!
