Perfect Poinsettia

Hello!

Today I am stopping by with a Uniko Revisit post where the DT have fun with one of the fab Uniko sets.  This month we are using the fabulous poinsettia set.  The flower is just gorgeous and makes a substantial focal point.  I decided to watercolour it....


I white embossed the flower and used my real colour markers to add watercolour.  I added some Wink of Stella for an extra bit of shimmer and combined it with a black die cut circle. It is a simple design but I think the beautiful poinsettia really pops.

Head over to Uniko to check out what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you to play with the poinsettia stamp.  Now is the perfect time to get it if you haven't already!

I will also link up at the Christmas challenge over at Happy Little Stampers which is poinsettia, at Virginia's View Challenge to colour and finally a last entry at Simon's Wednesday Clean and Simple Christmas Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by :)

  14. Pink and black are really beautiful together and this is so pretty Sarah. I love the way the watercolouring fades out towards the ends of the petals and the red dots against the black are a lovely touch to finish. x
