Pink Variegated Poinsettia with Bird

One of my favorite color of poinsettias are the variegated cream/pink.  I love the soft color!  

Susan's new Spellbinders Poinsettia die set was used to create these pretty poinsettias.  They were die cut using an ivory cardstock.  The Flower Tool Kit was used to shape the petals.   Using a paint brush, light pink watercolor was brushed down the center of each petal.  Tiny Styrofoam balls, colored light green, were added to the center of each poinsettia.  On top of each ball, one small yellow prill was added.  

Using the Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs die set, the bough was die cut using light brown cardstock.  Two boughs were glued down on the upper left side.  

Before die cutting the Evergreen Bough, I loaded a paint brush with white acrylic paint and splattered it onto green card stock.  After it was dry, the Evergreen Bough die was used to die cut 4 boughs.  Using scissors, each point on the bough was cut in half to create fullness.  

Using the Winter Berry die, three branches were die cut using dark green card stock.  Light pink berries were added.  

One bird was die cut and colored with markers.  It was added to one of the branches.
