I edited this photo after I noticed Donna commented about some sponging on my card. I took a look and sure enough it did look like blue sponging. Gosh, I don't know why that happened because there was no blue sponging. But, I'm glad Donna commented first so I would see and correct that. Thanks, Donna.
It's Friday and that means I have a new card for Queen for the Day #184 on Splitcoaststampers. The queen is Jan aka Precious Kitty and I've chosen this card from her wonderful gallery to case. I've used just her top layer for my sketch made mine a one layer. As you see, mine turned into a Christmas card.
I love this corner poinsettia digital image which I have had for many years. It is from Sketching Stamper and I'm not sure it is even available now. I put a full sheet of PTI white cardstock into the printer and placed my image in the corner. After this, I cut my card shape. Easy peasy. The beautiful sentiment is from Bo Bunny/Rejoice Collection-Christmas.
I colored my image with Copics (R35, R37, R39) and added gold stickles to the center. It's an easy one layer.
I'm entering my card into the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge-No Patterned Paper
I'm also entering my card to the Weekly Christmas Card Challenges #44-Anything Goes
I just found a new challenge that I'm entering: Nonni at Korttikarkuri-Stamp a Happy Christmas
Wishing all my blogging pals a fabulous Fall weekend.

Just stunning! I love it. The every-so-lightly sponged blue really give a special look to this card and helps bring out the brilliance of the poinsettia. Have a great weekend.
Hallo Brenda,

Gracious, I couldn't believe this was a digi! It is fabulous. Your coloring is astounding, so very realistic with all the contrast you achieved. Absolutely a beautiful one layer card. TFS
Oooheee, what a stunning poinsettia! I love the real thing, but they never last more than a week in our house! (...possibly something to do with me forgetting to water it Ha!)
Gorgeous! I love that poinsettia and the card design is Perfect my friend. Hugz!
Wow, so bold and dramatic! I know white can be difficult to photograph and edit, so maybe that's why it appeared to have blue sponging. When I use GIMP, sometimes that effect happens when I tweak it just a little too much.
A real beauty!
Your poinsettia is stunning. A beautiful CAS card. Thanks for joining in at Nonni's Christmas card challenge xx
Beautiful poinsettia, love this card!
