Here's today's' Watercolour Christmas card.....
I have used several colours of Brusho's to watercolour the background.
The poinsettia has been stamped and heat embossed in gold
and the large sentiment die cut and heat embossed with glossy powder.
I finished off stamping the small sentiment and white splats for snow.
Heavy snowfall!!!!
I was trying for delicate snow flurry!!!
Let's just say this was not the first attempt......
The gold glitter and black and white stripes are washi tape.
I have been inspired by similar cards using alcohol inks in the blog world,
so I will be trying that next.......
Thank you so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it.

Bold and Bright and what a powerful sentiment M. Love how colourful your card is. Great layout beautiful poinsettia and your flurry of snow is a nice touch. A great addition of the washi tape to bring it all together.
I love this artsy background, Mac! The colors are gorgeous with the gold poinsettia and I love the snowfall! Sometimes a flurry ends up with a heavier snow, but it looks beautiful here! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up and CAS Watercolour!

Beautiful design Mac!! Love your use of the washi tape down the sides and along the bottom. Adds so much sparkle and pattern with the black and white stripes. Your brusho colours are so beautiful. LOVE those vibrant colours with the glossy black die-cut sentiment. Great contrast! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour and CAS Mix Up! xx
Vibrant brusho colors, Mac! Love that you loosely and beautifully colored the poinsettia. I always have a hard time coloring "loosely". The black shiny bold sentiment and the bright image strike the perfect balance. The modern stripe washi tape is a nice addition. Hideko xx
Just beautiful and I love the addition of the washi tape x
Bold, vibrant, shimmery and deliciously artsy, Mac ... love that strong sentiment against all the saturated colour! Hugs, Anita :)

Another WOW card that has me staring in jaw-dropped awe! I predict that all my comments will be repetitive in praising your exponential creativity so apologies for that, but...I'll blame you for being so wondrously talented *grin*!
