It’s the reminder post for The Flower Challenge. I have this beautiful Poinsettia from The Ton.
I started stamping the image on watercolor paper in Versamark ink and heat embossing it in Gold Tinsel. The Tinsel gave the image a little extra shine. I then took out my Daniel Smith watercolor in Permanent Violet and painted the image.
To add a little extra shine, I then used Royal Purple Shimmerz and focused on the shading of the petals. For the center I used some Elfin’ Magic Vibez.
Once everything was dry, I die cut the Merry on gold sparkle paper in my stash and stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and clear heat embossed it.
I hope you get a chance to play along with our challenge this month and check out the other gorgeous creations from the Design Team here.
Also if you get a chance, check out Shimmerz Paints. If you order and put my name in the comments you’ll get a fun freebie!
