This is a beautiful poinsettia Loll, and I love the more orangy shade of the berries which gives some contrast, and the green is such a lovely rich colour and shows it off perfectly. x
You might think you're out of practice but you did a great job of watercolouring the image! Love the shade of green of the leaves and the card base, and also the yellow berries - a nice change from typical red berries.
Nope, sorry, you're wrong, this looks great watercolouring to me. A beautiful card Loll. x
Come on, Loll! Your no-line water coloring is just fantastic! But if you feel the need to 'practice' I'd come back gladly!
Such a gorgeous Christmas card!

Out of practice? No way! OMGosh, this looks fantastic! At first I thought it might be a watercolored stencil or maybe a brushstroke stamp. That's how thoroughly your lines disappeared. And I have to say, it looks extra amazing surrounded by all that green. It's such a beautiful and festive card!
I agree with everyone, you aren't out of practice as this is colored beautifully. Love that pretty poinsettia in the rich red, and the leaves and berries are perfect too. TFS
Your watercoloring looks marvelous to me, Loll, and the bright red blossom with the green leaves that match the card base are very festive.
Absolutely beautiful coloring, Loll! This card is stunning. Love everything about it.
This doesn't look like you're out of practice, Lolly! What a beautiful poinsettia and I love the berries in the bottom corner! Wow!
I love the loose watercolor look of your design, Lolly! The colors are so rich and deep and I love the olive card base you used! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar to motivate others!📌 Hugs, Dolly
