Good morning stamping friends. There's a new challenge starting today over at Double D Challenge. The theme is "Poinsettia".
What a grand opportunity to use the Sizzix Poinsettia Texture Fades Embossing Folder again! This was designed from a real vintage Christmas poinsettia. You may recall this post here, where I made a similar card. I embossed a panel of 140 lb Canson Watercolor Paper and water colored it using Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paint.
I hope you'll join in on the fun by clicking here

Stunning poinsettias and the gorgeous colours. xx
WOW! Wait! What?!? That's from an Embossing Folder! What sorcery is this??? This is absolutely STUNNING! I love everything about this beauty! Well done, my friend!
It definitely is a STUNNER Birgit, and quite frankly makes me very jealous that I don't have this folder!! Your water coloring on this Poinsettia is FABULOUS and you've totally brought it to life! LOVE everything about this card...you definitely nailed this challenge my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Amazing vintage card, Birgit! Wow, the water coloring is perfect. You certainly enhanced this EF to the max! The colors bring it to life and really show the dimension. Just gorgeous.
WOW! This is just GORGEOUS Birgit! Awesome coloring and your vintage design is fabulous! LOVE IT!! Hugs & Good Health to you my friend!
Love~love your vintage design and gorgeous card, it's a stunner for sure. I think I might have this EB folder but not sure, isn't it terrible when you have so much that you can't remember what you have lol!!
LOVE the look of this card. Very vintage, and over the top creative with the watercoloring on a dry embossed image. I like everything about this, just gorgeous.
This is so pretty! Every time I see you use this folder, I want it. You do a great job bringing it to look so real. I love your splatters and every thing about it. On to 2021. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.
So wonderfully old fashioned and beautiful! It reminds me of my days in floral design and all of those pretty poinsettias blooming in the greenhouses!
Every time you use this makes me think I need it but I am sure I couldn't do the beautiful job you have done with it, your painting is amazing and love the yellow you put around it on this one. Awesome!
Absolutely gorgeous vintage poinsettia. I have never seen that embossing folder. I love what you have done with it. I love the background too.
Birgit! I remember being so enamored by the Christmas cards my parents received that were embossed - see, I was bitten by the bug a very VERY long time ago!
Just love how you've painted these gorgeous Poinsettia! Another to go on my wish-list!

Oh my Birgit, this is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could watercolor like that. Stunning card.
