I'm all about Clean and Simple cards so had to play along. My card above uses a NBUS stamp that I've had for a few months. I got it near the end of last year, but it was too late to use to make Christimas to send, so it's finally gotten it's first work out. :)
I stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed in Liquid Platinum onto Hot Press watercolour paper. The images were coloured with Zigs and a water brush. Then I fussy cut them out.
The sentiment is stamped in Liquid Platinum onto my card base. The images were popped up for added dimension.
I'm also heading over to add this to the gallery at CAS Watercolour Challenge - February is all about love (see love in my sentiment above). The entries don't have to be just for Valentine's Day! :)

Beautiful Loll. x
absolutely perfect, I love poinsettia!
I had to look twice, it was so smoothly watercoloured I thought is was vellum.
Perfectly CAStastic, beautiful!
Oh my Loll, this is a stunning card! I love that poinsettia you have embossing and colored so pretty! I also love the sentiment as well. A stunning CAS card! Hugs, Brenda

Wow! I love what you did to flower. The colors are bright and happy. Thanks for sharing.
Your bloom looks so light and airy - I thought it was vellum! A beautiful CAS design Loll! Julia xx
I too thought you colored vellum! I have yet to success on that technique. Love your watercoloring on this Loll. You managed to shade it beautifully and also love the embossing in platinum- just a gorgeous effect.

The platinum embossing looks super cool with the translucency of the petals and leaves on this gorgeous image. Even though the colors look translucent, there's still so much vibrant color. Excellent Zig work on this - TFS
Beautiful card Loll I must treat myself to some platinum embossing powder! Perfectly placed sentiment.

Beautiful Loll. I thought this was done on vellum. I see I wasn't the only one. Had to re-read your post. Thanks for joining us this week at Merry Monday.
A gorgeous card, Loll. Makes me want to go and play with my SSS stamps. This set was part of my Black Friday order, which arrived just before Christmas. So far, I have only inked up the berries.

Gorgeous poinsettia, Lol - just love your watercoloring and platinum embossing!!
The poinsettia has such a translucent look I thought it was colored vellum, Loll. It's gorgeous.
Simply CAS, simply stunning and simply beautiful Loll!! Thank you for sharing this at Merry Monday!
OMG Loll, Your poinsettia is so beautifully colored and fussy cut! I love the font on your sentiment. You are really going to enjoy this new set. TFS my friend. Hugs...
Loll you always amaze me with your fussy cutting andbeautiful watercolouring. :)
Such a pretty flower and card!
I love the intense colors card combined with a subtle platinum sentiment. Using the same EP to express the poinsettia is the perfect idea to tie the card into a beautiful whole. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.
Hugs, dear Loll
