Poinsettia.....

Good morning....Wet...grey day here....Its taken me over one hour to get into my computer this morning....must be Black Friday!

Today's card is made with  a stamp from Stampendous  which I brought some time ago Its very large and I had to use a cd case to put it on and ink it up! I then stamped it a few times on to copy paper to see what part I wanted....

I cut a 5inch square out of stamping card and stamped off the edge ....Ive coloured the poinsettia with Promarkers and pencils.....the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and a few gems....
