Poinsettia in Pink

 


Happy Saturday friends! Getting this post up before the huge game at noon between Ohio State and Indiana! I was born and raised in Ohio so I'm always a Buckeye fan - lol! I brought out an old stamp/die set from Altenew and am using the current sketch at Try A Sketch On Tuesday.       


I was also inspired by the mood   board for Just Us Girls challenge: pink and brown, snowflakes, greenery, etc.  

I white embossed all the images then watercolored and die cut from Ranger's water color paper.  The background panel was a stenciled piece I had in my leftover pile.  


STAMPS: Poinsettia & Pine, Holiday Wishes (Altenew).
INK: Lovely Lady (PTI); Frayed Burlap, Gathered Twigs, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles, Evergreen Bough distress inks by Ranger; Versafine Clair Nocturne.
PAPER: Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink); Water Color (Ranger).
DIES: Poinsettia & Pine (Altenew); Love to Layer: Squares (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).
OTHER: Washi tape; Moonshine sequins, Snowflake stencil (PTI); Alabaster embossing powder (Brutus Monroe).

Thanks so much for stopping by! Game is on!  ~Wanda

Love that you used pink, Wanda! I lived in Central Florida for many years and had two plant beds full of red, pink, and white poinsettias left from Christmases past. They were stunning from early November and through the winter. They required a little TLC but it was worth it. Your card is lovely. Thank you for joining us at TSOT #659.
