Just Us Girls Challenge

Shock horror... I'm posting a card again today...

Well, the thing was I saw the photo challenge up on the Just Us Girls Blog 

And one of my 'just made' Christmas cards seemed to fit the bill with those pretty colours


I cut the poinsettia from a piece I did with Alcohol inks and used gold mirri card for the centre and some tiny sprigs


Then splattered it heavily with both gold and white paint .. Funnily enough it doesn't show up on the poinsettia in this shot

I've made a few variations of this so my pile of Christmas cards is growing steadily

Did you enjoy your Halloween evening? We didn't have that many callers this year so I still have a basket full of sweet treats and I'm trying to resist dipping into to them...

Have yourselves a lovely day

This red and silver poinsettia is gorgeous Ros using that pretty alcohol inked piece which looks fabulous with the gold embellishments, and love the WOW sentiment and that bit of spattering to finish. x

A perfect Christmas card, full of joy!!!!!!! Kisses, my friend.

Wow, your Christmas card pile is growing beautifully! Several of these and it's such a lovely design. The gold splatters are a wonderful addition. Funny how hard it is to photograph anything metallic. I'm lucky to average a card a day and will have to settle on a simple design if I'm going to be ready.

I love poinsettias--was just thinking of using my MFT die with felt. However, your alcohol inks with the splatters sure make a gorgeous, artistic flower--love it, Ros! Beautiful card design, too!

There is just one word for this and it is STUNNING!! Wow, what a beauty, so perfect in every way! I love the splatters, am afraid to do that as I would probably have a big mess, but yours look absolutely perfect every time!!

Maria said...

Oh, how lovely, Ros! I’ve been eyeing the MFT poinsettia die and want to purchase it even more so after seeing your lovely card! Gorgeous color on the beautiful flower! Love the fun sentiment, too! Well done as always, so pretty!!

Love the frosted look of this.

That flower is super cool! The alcohol ink variations make it so interesting. It really pops out at you. This one needs to go to someone very special. :-)

Playing catch up.....sorry for the late commenting Ros X what a beautiful poinsettia with wonderful colours of the alcohol inks. The pop of mirror gold and the splats of gold and white look wonderful. Beautiful Christmas card X

Beautiful card. I like everything about this!
We have none this year on Halloween since this is a 9 homes gated community, and I think only one family has kids in middle school.
