Watercolor Winter Merry Christmas - Fab Friday 03

After 3 days on my feet selling stamping up products and cards I am glad to be back in my craft room making cards.
This card is for the sketch challenge with Fab Friday here

 

Technique:
The base card is Real Red, layered with Very Vanilla.  The DSP layer is from Candlelight Christmas.
Image: 
After die cutting a 3" Whisper White circle using the circle die, the image of the holly and ivy were stamped using Black Stazon.  The leaves and holly were colored with ink and a blender pen.  The berries were highlighted with Cherry Cobbler dazzling details. The sentiment was stamped on the lower left corner.
The Poinsettias were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White card stock.  They were stamped first with Real Red ink, and then double stamped using Black Stazon.  I removed the red ink from the center of each flower with a blender pen and used a Daffodil Delight marker to make the center yellow.
After cutting each flower out and sponging the edges, some Dazzling details was placed in the center.
The flowers were attached to the top of the circle using dimensionals.
The circle was attached to the 3 notched strips and designer paper with dimensionals.

Stamps: Watercolor Winter, Petite Pairs
Inks: Real Red, Black Stazon, Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, Daffodil delight marker
Papers: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Candlight Christmas DSP, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Beautiful job with the Watercolor Winter set! Love the poinsettias offset from the circle panel and the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling details on the berries! Thanks for sharing with us at Fab Friday!
