This week on the Allsorts challenge the theme is 'Flower Power'. This is an 8 x 8 card and there wasn't much room for anything else once the flower was in place. The stamp is one of the Sheena Douglass' paint fusion range but I coloured it with Promarkers this time. I've got some brilliant white card from Staples that is great for putting through the printer but it's also great for Promarkers - cheaper and whiter than Neenah. There are several layers and after assembling I gave it a couple of coats of gold glitter spray. The background paper is from an Artylicious A4 paper pack called Simple Elegance. I dabbed it all over with Solar Gold Radiant Rain - not a great idea as it happens. Even after heat setting, the mica didn't seem to want to stick to the fairly glossy paper so I had to buff most of it off as I was getting gold mica everywhere. It stills shows a bit in the daylight though. The gold ribbon is from Lidl and the sentiment is a Creative Expressions Sheena Douglass stamp - gold embossed and then also sprayed with glitter spray. The text plate is a Spellbinders die.
Thanks very much for visiting today. A day with another helping of snow.

Just shows Beryl, poinsettias look good in any colour. I would never ever have thought of doing it in this colourway but it looks absolutely stunning.
Thanks so much sharing your inspiration with us at Allsorts challenge this week.

Hi Beryl
Your gold poinsettia looks amazing. The stamp makes a huge flower doesn't it. I kept meaning to make some Christmas cards with it this year but just never got round to it.
thank you so much for your lovely comments today. I am much calmer now and have made a note for the teacher in DD's art book reassuring her I did not get involved apart from supplying the pencils!! As kids do they don't want their parents making waves for them at school do they!!
You'll love the 4 day deal stamps, they are gorgeous to work with and after see Sheena demo them i now have so many new ideas for them.
Hope the snow gets easier for you. It's thawing fast here.
Keep warm
