I have a card today using a beautiful stamp that I received as blog candy a while ago from the very kind and talented Ellen of The Serendipitious Stamper who is a member of Impression Obsession's Design Team, I was very happy with it as I love Mandalas and poinsettias - Thank you Ellen !
The background was created by simply randomly stamping with a solid stamp by Hero Arts (Poinsettia Bloom) using Broken China Distress Ink.
The Mandala Poinsettia by Impression Obsession was embossed with silver several times. I 'fancy cut' the flower, painted with Tom Bow markers and layered as shown. I used a circle die to cut out the first image. I have other ideas for this stamp, it's pretty cool as it also has zentangle inspired patterns.
Funny when I created this one (a while ago) at the same time I was blown away by gorgeous card designs that Miranda created using the same stamp and more. If you have time, it's well worth it to visit Miranda's blog here and also her blog here....enjoy!
Seasons Greetings,

I haven't made a mandala card for years Shirley, this is gorgeous. I wish I hadn't given away my mandala stamps because you have just got the juices flowing again.
Off to check out Miranda's blog.

This is so pretty Shirley, and I love that poinsettia background and the beautifully coloured flower is shown off wonderfully well by that die cut circle and the coordinating ribbon. x
Hi, Shirley! A wonderful prize for sure, Shirley! And it could not have happened to a nicer person! Shirley, your card and medallion look fabulous - so rich and colorful - wishes for a lovely Christmas in your new home, and for many more happy celebrations to happen there as well! hugs, de
This is pretty amazing, Shirley, all the cutting and 3D layering, very unusual and so effective and precise.
Have a great Christmas time! Give your crafting assistant a day off!
Wow, love those colours together and with the embossing the flower looks so elegant and light! Hugs, Gerrina
