Last minute gifts are often the norm at this point in the holiday season, so I thought I would continue the theme of gift card holders, with this sample that I created with my friend Kathy.  I really like how this one opens as a trifold with the gift card tucked into the bottom.  As a little hint, I copied this design and it will be one of the samples in my January tutorial.

Watercolored Poinsettia Card

Materials:

Stamps: Poinsettia Petals and For Unto Us

Ink: Sahara Sand and Poppy Parade

Card stock:

    Whisper White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2 and 5" x 3 3/4"

    Thick Whisper White - 4 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Accessories: Poinsettia Dies, Poppy Parade Light and Dark Blends, Flirty Flamingo Dark Blends, Granny Apple Green Light and Dark Blends, Mango Melody Dark Blends

I realized a couple of days ago that I still hadn't showed the card I made as my primary Christmas card to my own family and friends.  When I made the video showing you No-Line Coloring, I had left the finished poinsettia sitting on my desk.  I really liked it, and I decided I wanted to make it the focal point of my card.  I really like the clean lines of this card and I've gotten great feedback from those who received it. In case you were wondering, I made about 30 of these cards, and towards the end, my Flirty Flamingo blends (which I used the most of) was running out.  I actually had to wait and finish the last couple with a new marker.  So...the blends markers last for about 30 medium-sized poinsettias, lol.
