Hi everyone. It's Monday again and time for the Merry Monday Challenge. This week we have a color challenge ... and a beautiful photo to inspire you.
I used vanilla colored watercolor paper for my card base, and two panels of embossed card stock (Early Espresso and Gold) to anchor my glittery Christmas Poinsettia. I used a paint brush to add gold glitter glue to all the petals for the added shimmer. :)
Here's a close-up:
Stamps: Christmas Greeting (SU!)
Paper: Watercolor; Early Espresso, Gold, Real Red (SU!)
Ink: Early Espresso, Real Red (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Big Shot, Blooming Poinsettia (Poppy Stamps), Square Lattice embossing folder (Sizzix for SU!), Musical Flourish embossing folder (Cuttlebug), gold glitter glue, stylus and mat, Stamp-a-ma-jig, glue, adhesives and dimensionals
I hope you'll pop by and check out the challenge on Lesley's blog ... and see all the lovely cards made by the rest of the Design Team ... lots of inspiration there!! :)

Loving that poinsettia, Loll, and its glittery goodness. Fantastic layout and balance of colors.
Firstly, love that glittering poinsettia. But I especially liked your layout and the unexpected brown tones of the embossed mat against the mesh embossing. Inspired! So beautiful together, and really popped out the red of your gorgeous flower. TFS..& Hugs
Oooh! I like this! Guess I have to visit the blog more often as I think I missed in the gallery. The sparkly poinsettia is so lovely and I really like the layout. These are beautiful colors, so I think I need to try and play, whether or not I actually get it done this weekend.
Just beautiful....those golden leaves are just so elegant! Gorgeous creation.
Gorgeous card, love the shine on your poinsettia!
Beautiful CAS card, Loll! Love your glimmery poinsettia!
Pretty card Loll, love the bling on the flower.
