Noel

Greetings,

I am woefully behind on Christmas cards already.  But here is one more for the stash inspired by CAS Christmas Card Challenge - winter flowers.  I had a new to me Poinsettia from Taylored Expressions in my bin. So out it came.  I decided to no line copic color it.  I stamped the flower in red ink and then colored it leaf by leaf hoping to use some really dark reds to give each petal definition. The center was filled with nuvo drops that ran together...no worries though, the yellow gives a nice pop against all the red.  A small sentiment from CTMH was added next to the big bloom keeping the card CAS.



Thanks so much for visiting, stay safe.

Wow.... what a stunner Cat x. The colouring looks fabulous and love the depth of colour and the small sentiment, letting the beautiful poinsettia be the star of the card x.

Super pretty, Cat. I have a few new poinsettia stamps which I need to get out, too. Hopefully, yours will spur me to act.

Holy cow, that's some awesome no-line coloring, Cat! It's perfect stamped in red. I like that little sentiment with it, and all the beautiful CASness. I'm so behind, too. Even though I've got some things set out for Christmas cards I can't seem to get started.

Wow, what awesome no-line colouring, Cat ... goodness, the sense of depth you created is just brilliant! Gorgeous rich reds against the crisp white ... and deliciously CAS! Hugs, Anita :)
