I do love this stamp and die set from Avery Elle and have used the large flower bouquet for today's card. I stamped in black, watercoloured and die-cut; then placed it inside my antique frame die. I didn't think it needed anything else, so no sentiment.
Here's a close-up ...

I agree...no sentiment necessary. You can always put one inside. I love your watercoloring and antique wide frame with your beautiful flowers inside. TFS my friend. hugs..Nancy
This is so beautifully painted, Loll! Love that image too and even better when the dies come with it. Your framing is perfect on this and I agree that no sentiment is needed. I've done that a lot lately.
Lovely, Loll! Your flower spray is gorgeous and I love the antique frame - it's on my wish list!! Thanks for including me as a guest designer!
Nothing else is needed with these beautiful poinsettias, Loll! The pink flowers are perfectly shades and well deserving of being framed! So beautiful, my friend!
Beautiful watercoloring, Loll! I love how you created dimension on the Poinsettia's and holly leaves, and that you included those lovely red berries! Your antique frame was the perfect choice for your design, too! Thanks so much for inspiring me to play along again this month!
A wonderful bouquet of holly and poinsettias! They easily stand alone without a sentiment. Wonderful watercolouring and framing!
Love that lovely deckle frame ... and those gorgeous blooms too ... thanks for *blooming* with us at Jingle Belles.
Loll, that's such a beautiful spray of poinsettia, love the colours and the beautiful frame :)

You've sold me on dark pink poinsettias. This colouring is amazing and this frame is totally awesome. BRILLIANT! Your are a pro when it comes to colouring, the tones are perfect. I really love this card, dear Loll, xx
This Poinsettia stamp is one of my favorites too Loll and you used it BEAUTIFULLY on your card! I love your antique framing and it definitely does not need a sentiment...the Poinsettia is so pretty all on it's own and surrounded by all that white on white...LOVE it!! :0)
Those pretty poinsettia's really did not need a sentiment. They tell the story without words. Beautiful watercoloring, and the frame is just perfect to enclose them. Wonderful card, Loll. Bev

Absolutely beautiful poinsettia spray, Loll! Love your pretty watercoloring and the way the flowers and the berries are coming off the frame. I agree that this looks complete without a sentiment.

Gorgeous card Loll, love how you've used the antique frame to display your beautifully watercoloured poinsettias... I love these flowers - often see them sold in pots around Christmas, so one might just come home with me this year.
this is so gorgeous....love the way you framed it all up.
