I started by pressing the pink inks onto the craft sheet, spritzing with water then dabbing part of the water color paper onto it. I dried it w\/ a heat gun, then did the same with the teal, blue &amp; greens&#8230;one at a time and drying in between colors. Dabbing here &amp; there and drying in between colors keeps them from blending together and making mud. Then I stamped the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serendipitystamps.com\/new-stamps\/1331BKK.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poinsettia Background<\/a> on top w\/ the Versafine and used an opaque cream marker to color in the centers &amp; a black marker around the edge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serendipitystamps.com\/new-stamps\/1322E.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poinsettia &amp; Leaf<\/a> to stamp the big single poinsettia a couple of times on ivory, colored them w\/ Copics &amp; fussy cut them. The small poinsettia (from the big background image) was done the same way. I thought it looked a little too busy, so I added a narrow strip of blue vellum down the side before adding the poinsettias. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serendipitystamps.com\/new-stamps\/038DD.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joy die<\/a>\u00a0was die cut 3 times out of the cream and twice out of black to shadow it. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used for the poinsettias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Poinsettia-Joy-copics-05068.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Poinsettia-Joy-copics-05068.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18103\" title=\"Julie Warner - https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/?p=18099\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Poinsettia-Joy-copics-05068.jpg\" alt=\"Poinsettia Joy copics 05068\" width=\"500\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Thanks so much for stopping by!
