You could say that this Build-A-Flower: Poinsettia from Altenew is ‘Built-4-Christmas’, but it’s also built for so many other wonderful occasions, it’s amazing and I had so much fun colouring with Altenew’s Artist Markers today that I just had to share a video.
My background is the Layered Plaid Cover Die B using both the Light and Dark Gray Cardstock and the sentiment Pure White heat embossed (have I told you how much I like this particular embossing powder… it’s white white)!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Hi Therese, not sure my first comment posted. I have followed you for a long time. We have chatted a couple times on techniques and where to buy some items in Colorado. You have taught me so much about coloring. You truly are my favorite card artist! Every card puts a smile on my face. I have a chronic pain disease so I need those pick me-ups! Keep them coming! Are you still working in the nursing field too?
Nancy in Colorado
Hi Nancy, yes I am a nurse, I work full time shift work (and the remainder of my life is spent making cards, with just a little bit of time in there for my husband and cats too lol.). Thanks so much for your lovely comments, you have truly made my day! Big crafty hugs, Therese ps the first message did come through
I can’t believe I almost missed this one. Thanks so much for a beautifully executed card using this lovely stamp.
Your card looks fabulous, off to watch you colour now
Absolutely stunning card, Therese! Your coloring skills, no matter the medium, are amazing. Watching your videos is just so enjoyable!
Love the card. Your coloring is fabulous. Love your videos.
