Layered Poinsettias

I have a box of berries, leaves, pine boughs and other festive foliage along with some watercoloured panels waiting to be put to use. I cut poinsettias from the watercoloured panels and had fun arranging them on an embossed panel with other foliage die cuts. (PB ‘joy of giving‘, ‘juniper‘, ‘layered Xmas wreath‘ and stocking stuffers)

The pretty background panel is Neenah solar white embossed with the Gina K ‘holiday flora’.

I like the variety of patterns and colours in the petals and leaves when they are cut from a watercolour panel. I held a couple of Christmas card making nights for my church and we made watercolour panels using my smoosh, spritz and swipe method. We ‘smooshed’ distress inks on a teflon mat, ‘spritzed’ the ink with water to dilute and move it, then ‘swiped’ the watercolour paper through the ink as many times as needed to make a well coloured panel.
