It's colder than average for this time of year... what happened to our 'above normal' temperatures? It's minus 8 this morning with a few snow flurries. It's also that time of year when we don't see the sun too much.
I have a card to show today that was inspired by the very talented Miranda Degenaars. It was her beautiful sample cards at the Posthumas shop in Amsterdam many years ago that gave me the 'stamping bug' which has not left since.
I added a bit of Brusho's sprinkled and spritzed before stamping. The Poinsettia (embossed with silver, coloured with Brushos and fancy cut into layers) and little dot stamp are by Magenta. The Holly branch & sentiment are by Impression Obsession also embossed with silver. I added a lilttle silver embossing enamel and splattered white acrylic paint over the flower & background.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Brusho's beautiful dimension and a Poinsettia, once can ask for no Shirley.
Have a good weekend, the frosty days have left us and now we have rain.

Beautiful card Shirley, love the gorgeous flower and the colours are wonderful. Fabulous background, never used Brushos, but they could be on the wish list, Kate x
This is a beautiful card Shirley. I really like how you've given the Poinsettia dimension and the colours that you've used look fabulous. Happy Crafting, Sandra x
Fantastic card and a wonderful colour scheme. It's cold and damp here, doesn't feel festive! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
That is a beautiful Poinsettia Shirley and I love the design you have stamped on it and the pretty holly stamped in the background, and all coloured wonderfully with the Brushos. A gorgeous card! x
Stunning card. Just got back from Holland and Skipper is going into hospital on Tuesday. Hope all is well at your end. Purrs to Archie.
Fabulous Shirley and great idea with the embossing colour

Stamping is such a fabulous hobby because look at all the fabulous things we can make with them.
This card is no exception Shirley all that lovely layering of the poinsettia and a background that blends perfectly. Who could wish for more.

Amazing colors with your Brusho-s and I'm loving this green poinsettia with the swirls in the leaves! It's very dimensional & lush, and tucking the IO holly leaves under the poinsettia added even more sparkle. It's just a gorgeous card, but then yours always are! TFS & Merry Christmas.
So wonderful card! I like those colours!

Oh my goodness--when I saw the picture I thought it looked like a Magenta stamp & I see it is! Such a gorgeous card, Shirley, & think I have that stamp or one very similar, so I'm pinning this & am determined to use my old stamp!
Beautiful dimensional poinsettias, Shirley!
Lovely card, Shirley; poinsettias are always so indicative of this time of year aren't they? Happy weekend, my friend! xo
