I'm having fun with yesterday's Free for All challenge - to go back to the first 12 Free for All challenges. I managed to use three of the 12 in this card:
F4A8 Out of the Box and Embossed - it's not the real Out of the Box technique that uses die cuts, but looks like it as the image extends beyond the square it is in. Also both image and sentiment are heat embossed
F4A10 - to use flowers
F4A11 - to use gel pens - I used a gold Gelly Roll pen to fill in the border around the square of the stamp and the centre bits of the poinsettia.
I'm working on mastering my new Zig brush markers so tried to get more shading into the poinsettia. I used three shades of red. A bit of the red got into the background so I blended it out with some grey and ended up with kind of an old rose colour. I had some pale old rose cs that blended well so used that for the card base.
