{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2026 Linky Party - Christmas poinsettia

 

Here we are.....Friday, the last day of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2026 Linky Party! I have a lot going on today, so not sure how many more cards I'll get posted, but here's at least one more! LOL

While this one didn't turn out as I had envisioned, it's still very lovely and shimmery! I started with a plain white piece of cardstock. To that I ink blended Antique Linen and Spun Sugar Distress Oxides. Started with splashing some water over it all for some distressing. I stamped the large poinsettia stamp (from Unity called Poinsettia Poetry) using versafine clair in Nocturne. To that I took more of the spun sugar and watercolored over all the petals. It wasn't giving the effect I was looking for so I then  grabbed some Yasutomo shimmer watercolors and added some to the petals and center. Still not quite right, I then sprinkled on some distress spray in Picket Fence over the entire panel. 

I decided to tear all the edges to create some distressing. Then I die cut the sentiment using greetings of the season {die set} from Unity. Die cut a piece of pink cardstock and added it to the front. The tiny pearls have been in my stash for years and not really sure where they are from.
