I've had this Northwoods stamp for a long time, so I dug it out of the stash and made a Christmas card with it. I colored the poinsettias with green Copics, adding some pastel blue Copic color to highlight the image as well. I dotted the flowers with Christmas red stickles and added some silver stickles to the blue ribbon...
The final touch was to add a stamped sentiment on the bottom (crooked no less) but after all that work, I'm using this card - crooked sentiment and all :) I matted the image with black and adhered it to a celery green card base which perfectly matches the poinsettia leaves.
I'm sharing this with the Jingle Belles Mele Kalikimaka challenge - which is to use flowers on your Christmas card.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Carol, this card is gorgeous! Such a perfect image and I love Northwoods stamps! Love how you colored this and added the Stickles for some sparkle! Awesome Christmas card, my friend! Have a great Saturday! :)
Such a lovely card....I would be way too intimidated to color it myself! :)
Well done! I love the colors!
Northwoods has wonderful details, just like some of the old PSX stamps did. This is totally lovely, Carol! How pretty that you did the white (sort of) version of the Poinsettias. <3
Those poinsettias are absolutely gorgeous ... so very glad you celebrated a floral Christmas with us at jingle belles.
Lovely poinsettias so beautifully coloured, Carol, and LOVE the blue bow with the silver stickles that gives a splash of colour and sparkle to the card! Also the red stikles on the centers of the poinsettias are just perfect!
Hugs!
What a beautiful stamp Carol and I love the colour combination. Barbxx
What a beautiful Christmas card Carol! I am so loving this image, it is stunning and I love the way you have colored it up. I can't see where your sentiment is crooked, all I see is beautiful! Love your use of stickles too, you have placed them in the perfect spots. Hugs, Brenda

Love this image and it is so pretty in white ....Lis
Love poinsettas! Perfect card.
Just gorgeous, Carol. The sentiment doesn't look crooked to me. I have messed up so many card stamping sentiments that sometime (if I remember) I stamp the sentiment before I put all that work into coloring. Have a fun Sunday.
NW is one of my fav stamp companies as their stamps are so beautifully detailed, have images that I like, and always stamp out well. I really like your choice of colors on these poinsettia leaves, and you've captured the 'white color' perfectly, with the subtle veins of the green. Looks gorgeous with the blue sparkle of the ribbon and that wonderful red pot! Well DONE, indeed! TFS & Hugs
Beautifully colored! Love it!
How cool that you made one of the non-red poinsettias. I like this!
ooooh! what an incredible job of coloring on this beautiful card! thanks for celebrating holiday flowers with us at JINGLE BELLES! <3
Wow, the poinsettia's are so pretty. I love the blue bow and the glitter.
