Pretty Poinsettia

Just a quick post to link up to the current Festive Friday challenge.  They've got a colour challenge this time that is just so pretty!  Check it out...


Lovely isn't it?  So I decided to break out a stamp I hadn't inked up yet.  It's a jumbo cling stamp by Stampendous.  I found this set at Michaels after Christmas on clearance.  You can still get it from Stampendous though.  Here's the card.



I coloured it with my Spectrum Noir markers keeping it light.  I added some silver glitter to the stamen of the flower.  Then I fussy cut it out and adhered it to a white panel with foam dots.  I matted this on silver paper and attached the ribbon.  The ribbon was another purchase from Michaels clearance after Christmas.  :-).  Glued one of my dollar store sequins to the bow.  Stamped the sentiment (Fiskars, Simple Expressions set) in black StazOn.  Then attached to a light pink card base.

I really love how this turned out.  I just adore that poinsettia stamp.  I think I'll also link this up to Always Playing With Paper's, Merry Mondays, Anything Goes challenge.  :-)

***UPDATE***  I'm going to link this up at Moxie Fab World and their Holiday Cards challenge.  It's a challenge to celebrate the new Holiday Cards and More magazine by PaperCrafts.  :-)


Have a fantastic day!
