Poinsettia Christmas Tag



Hello!  Joni Andaya  made a beautiful water colored tag for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, it inspired me to water color a poinsettia image.  I used stamps from an older Stampin' Up set for my tag.  I added some glitter to the flowers once the water coloring was dry using a Spectrum Noir glitter pen, this was tricky I started adding the glitter at the tip of a petal than went down to the base of the petal since the paint was darker there and I wanted to keep the tips lighter,  than I wiped the brush off on a paper towel between petals as the glitter activated the paint.  I'm also sharing this tag at The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge.  So far I have been able to make time for a little coloring everyday for Kathy Racoosin's coloring challenge, it's been fun!
Thanks for stopping by.
