Today is the end of February and on to March but at The Merry Christmas challenge it's always Christmas..
This is challenge #9 and the Holly and Ivy team have some great inspiration for you. Check out the other teams creations at The Merry Christmas bog. Our challenges are always
ANYTHING GOES + CHRISTMAS
So if you follow me you know I love water color smooshing backgrounds.. Well I was playing again and with different colors of Ranger inks and seeing what I could come up with for Christmas. So this is one of the backgrounds I created. I then needed to figure out what to add to it.. Well digging through my dies I found this awesome Poinsettia die from My Favorite Things so I found two different but close reds and cut the sections two times and then found a scrap of water color and die cut the piece in the center along with the gold for the top center piece. I used a scrap of Quick Quote paper for the leaves. I used silver shinny card stock and Reverse Confetti Merry die and Simon Says Christmas stamp. I love the richness of this card. It is a wow card in my eyes.

I don't know which I like more, the many-layered and textured poinsettia or the incredible watercolor background! The end result is stunning! I'm so glad you joined us at the Heartful Stamping Challenge!
