                                                I followed a video by Therese Calvird for inspiration for this card, part of the Card Makers Summit. 
I used the dies to emboss the top panel then spattered with gold, as suggested by Therese. 
I watercolored paper in red and green and spattered both with gold before I die cut the poinsettia shapes. 
 
 
Stamp : Stampin Up sentiment and banner die 
Dies : Spellbinders poinsettia 
Embossing powder : Brutus Monroe Gilded (sentiment) 
 
Koi watercolors for poinsettia, spattered with Gansai Tambi yellow gold. 
 
watercolor paper adhered to Neenah Natural White card base. 
 
This is the 2nd card I made and I like it better than the first.  I trimmed the top panel down so I could add a shimmery gold mat.  Instead of using the rather large leaves that came with the die set, I cut the largest poinsettia piece from green paper to act as leaves. 
 
TFL! 
Thanks for the challenge Daria!  Yay!  I started!
