Christmas Poinsettia

Today I was in the mood to do a wee bit of watercoloring.  I wanted to use the colors from the Retro Rubber Challenge and I needed a pretty flower for The Flower Challenge.  I think the three came together beautifully.

Bells & Boughs has been my favorite since I first joined Stampin' Up! in 2010.  It was one of my first picks from the Holiday Catalog that year.  One I chose in my starter kit is the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set which has been around since 2009. 

Actually, I thought I had all of my Christmas cards done for the year.  Nope!  I realized I need six more so this is the first of those six.  Now on to getting the other five created.  On top of that, I've need to get so many things done before I leave for a road trip to Reno to be with my sons for Christmas.  My number two son lives close to me and we are headed west for the holidays.  It will be so much fun to all be together again.  Life is good when you are busy!


Stamp Sets:  Bells & Boughs (2010), Teeny Tiny Wishes (2009); Inks:  Basic Black Archival, Garden Green, Real Red; Cardstock:  Real Red, Shimmery White, Whisper White Thick; Patterned Paper:  Serene Scenery; Other:  Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate (Taylored Expressions), Orange Wink of Stella Brush, Jewels Basic Rhinestones

The colors I used are from the Retro Rubber Challenge.  For all the challenge details, click the image below.
