Pink & Green Poinsettia
Posted: November 29, 2016 Filed under: Scarlet Majesty | Tags: Penny Black stamps 21 CommentsI’m not sure that poinsettias ever appear to be quite this pink but I have artist’s licence so here is a bright pink and green poinsettia. I stamped and painted this one way back in September and was pretty careful to note down colours and products with all the projects I was working on before I went to Australia. Somehow though, I can’t find my list for this one.
I used the MISTI so I could ink with pink first (maybe Victorian velvet or worn lipstick dsitress stain) then ink with green (mowed lawn distress stain??) and finally with aged mahogany distress stain. Once the petals were dry I added details with an aged mahogany distress marker.
It is entirely possible that I did not do this with distress stains at all; sorry, I’m just not sure. I did mat the panel with green then with burgandy making it a four-layer card which, for me, is a little unusual just like the colour scheme.
Supplies:
Stamps: Scarlet Majesty, Joy filled(PB)
Inks: not sure but my guesses are listed in the description above.
Cardstock: Fabriano 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper, green cardstock, burgandy cardstock
I don’t care that you don’t remember the colors. This card is stunning. Absolutely love the color combinations.
Thank you Patti, I did wonder if the colours were a bit too bright but it seems to be popular with quite a few people.
Hello Heather,
When I saw this beautiful card it came into mind the sheer joy of Christmas.

This is a beautiful large poinsettia and the colour combination is gorgeous Heather. Hope you had a wonderful time in Australia. x
Thank you Pat, I’m surprised how many like the bright coloured poinsettia; I thought it was a bit too pink! I had a wonderful time in Australia. It was lovely to be with my family for the first time in 3 years.
Yes, we have had some Poinsettias like this! Very pretty!
Thank you. I am used to just seeing the red ones, green ones and white ones; I haven’t seen pink.
This is a beautiful poinsettia, Heather! I love the colors and the accents with the marker!
So very pretty! I’m pretty sure I saw poinsettias in a similar pink at the grocery store recently…
