Editing to add, this is not a die cut, but an embossing folder that I fussy cut.
A totally lovely color combination today, Barbara. EVERYTHING goes better with a pool party, don't you think?
It's a pretty simple card today. I used watercolor paper to dry emboss the Tim Holtz Poinsettias. Both the flowers and leaves were colored directly to paper with Gelatos...the bracts with 3 shades of red. The leaves were colored with one shade of green and then a couple of Copics. A drizzle of Stickles. It's interesting the texture of the bracts are actually the watercolor paper coming through as a pattern.
I added a pool party mat behind the Poinsettias and the traditional Spanish Greeting in the front, distressing the tag with a file. I did fussy cut the
Poinsettias.
Thanks for stopping by, may your day be filled with loveliness.

Your willingness to do so much fussy cutting always amazes me. Love the use if the cut out embossed poinsettias. You think outside the box and it's always wonderful to see your creations. This is beautiful, Susan.
