Here's my card
I started the background with a piece of patterned paper and applied the stencil to the top using Dap Lightweight Spackle that had been tinted with a light pink re-inker. After it dried, I spritzed it with a sheer shimmer spritz in Frost and Sparkle. I added some paint splatters using a paint brush and some Pearlescent watercolors. The poinsettia stamp is from Power Poppy, and I colored it with Copic Markers. I fussy cut it and popped it up on a beautiful Spellbinders die. The sentiment was gold embossed. I added a gold ribbon, bow and some pearls to the center of the flower that I colored with a gold Pitt pen.
