Mary is our hostess this week and she has chosen: garden green, basic black, a favorite red and for dessert: Christmas
I die cut the poinsettia flowers and leaves and then sponged with real red (with a touch of cherry cobbler on the edges of the petals) and garden green – trying to create an ombre look with the sponging for interest. I sprayed some shimmer spritz for added sparkle on the flowers (it also left some water marks, which I think adds some interest too). I think the rest is pretty clear – love the look that SU! embossing folder gives my bg panel!

This is gorgeous!! I love how nice and clean this is. The poinsettias going a bit out of the box looks great, as well as the embossing that adds just the right amount of texture.

OMGosh, Maura - this is STUNNING! Your sponging is fabulous - I had to read the recipe to realize it wasn't red shimmer c/s with a little sponging on the edges. That is the coolest poinsettia die.

This is just stunning Maura! Wow! I love the way you sponged these gorgeous poinsettia dies - they look like real flowers. I also love the embossed center panel and how it is matted with a hint of black. What a nice back drop this is for these stunning flowers. This is a terrific card for the color challenge! Have you considered framing this? ~Karen.
