Just a simple one done for the February Dirty Dozen Christmas card challenge. YAY one more done. The bloom was cut out with scissors after coloring. I was messing around with trying to add more shadows to the lower spots instead of stamping it twice and you know popping up the top with foam dots. This card is pretty flat in real life. Thanks for hosting this Stacy! & tfl.

Wow, what a gorgeous color combo! And that flower looks anything but flat. You achieved wonderful dimension. Those little flecks of green really make it pop!

What a gorgeous Poinsettia, Stacy! I love the bits of green mixed with the luscious purple! It looks almost like the poinsettia is embossed with the veins in it. I just have to keep going back to look at it again!

Stacy, what a lovely, lovely job you did with your polychromos and prisma pencils! I love the your color choice - it has a beautiful velvety look to it. Backed by that sliver glimmer - perfect! I really like the softness of the glitter paper - some glitter papers can be harsh, but not this one.

Beautiful job of pencil colouring, there's loads of dimension going on in that gorgeous poinsettia! Great colour choices too for a really lovely festive card!
