I decided to use Cover Plate: Center Stage as the stencil for my watercolor background. I added more water to the green color as I moved across the card hoping for an ombre effect. The gradient look turned out rather nice if I do say so myself;)
After letting this dry, I stamped the sentiment from Wet Paint Holiday and trimmed the piece to show the New Leaf Green card base. For the poinsettias, I smooshed 2 different shades of red on my craft mat then spritzed it with water. After blending the colors with a small brush, I smashed my water color paper into the ink. A quick way to watercolor an entire piece of paper:)

The variation in color of the poinsettias wasn't as prominent as I had hoped, but that is the element of surprise with watercoloring, right?!
