Linda has asked us to make a black and white card with a pop of color for the Ways To Use It Challenge. I sponged/inked some paper to make my poinsettia.
Here's what I used:
Paper: Gina K. Pure Luxury in Black and White, unknown Bazzill scrap
Ink: Distress Inks in Peeled Paint, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers
Stamps: none
All the other stuff: Big Shot Pro; Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die; Couture Creations Tied together embossing folder; Cuttlebug Holly embossing folder; Distress Stains in Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint, Tumbled Glass and Brushed Pewter; sponges, water spritzer, heat gun, Ranger Glue n' Seal, Distress Stickles Dry Glitter in Clear Rock Candy, K & Company Adhesive Gems, paper piercer, Spare Parts by the Paper Studio Antique Gemstone Brads, craft mat

Lee-Anne, this is just beautiful! I am looking to buy a poinsettia die set and I am glad to see your example as I did not know Tim Holtz had one. Happy Thanksgiving!
