I'll miss making them as they are my favorite kind, although I will enjoy making some Valentines, florals, and such.
The team of Tuesday Throwdown is having their last challenge this week until the first of the new year. We are going to spend time with family and friends. So, we'll see you back on January 3rd.
This card is for the challenge on Tuesday Throwdown #78 and the theme is 'someone special'. I made mine for a friend. My Grafico is furnishing the DT with a set called Nature's Christmas Digital Stamp Set designed by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. There are several very pretty images to use. As you can see, I chose the poinsettia.
I colored the image with Copics after stamping onto the Spellbinders peony die and behind that is the silver doily. I'm using some negative snowflakes from the Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake border punch. The rest of my recipe is listed below. I know, I know...used that same ribbon and button as yesterday's card. I really love it but I'll give it a break. :-)
Hope you'll join us. Just click on the Tuesday Throwdown list above.

So lovely, Benzi! Your beautifully-colored poinsettia really shines, and I'm tickled by the combination of traditional and non-traditional colors in this. I especially like that silver doily -- great touch! Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas! :-)
Gorgeous, Benzi, and I'd have used that same ribbon and button, too! They're perfect for this card. Fabulous coloring, too. Love that silver doily!
The coloring on your poinsettia is just stunning!! I love the silver doily that beautifully frames this lovely image, and the ribbon ties it all up perfectly!
I'm going to try to make one Christmas card a month in the coming year, so I'll have a bunch to send early to OWH AND have my own at the same time :)
Beautiful! I love the depth you got in your coloring.
Beautiful! I love how your image pops against the K&Co paper! Your coloring is stunning! Happy Holidays!
Oooh, love your fancy doily and such a beautifully coloured poinsettia, looks just like the one on my fireplace!
Whoa - that background paper looks so familiar. Not sure if you watch the Martha Stewart show on the Hallmark channel, but for the holiday season, she shows stripes that look just like these, in the same colors!
Pretty poinsettia, poised on a silver doily. Ooo la la!
Your coloring is over the top fabulous! Love the fun papers and silver doily!
Beautiful painting of a beautiful poinsettia!
Love the beautifully vivid coloring of the poinsettia on this card. The silver doily background adds to the festive look for this traditional beauty.
