This is a special card for a friend who's birthday it is tomorrow.
Have you seen the poinsettias at Christmas that are white/cream and have that green tinge to them, that was what I was trying to create. This picture doesn't capture the shimmer on the petals, but after watercoloring, I also added Lumiere and they really are so pretty and shimmery.
The poinsettia is stamped and embossed 3 x and then layered together.

Gorgeous, Christine! Lovely design and excellent job of capturing the look of the white poinsettia. I've looked at photos of them online for guidance in coloring them, but couldn't figure out how to handle the green elements. Thanks for the inspiration. Linda
