Golden PoinsettiasCompleted by Shirley Thompson

In my graphics programme I opened one of these lovely golden poinsettia images. I airbrushed out the text 'Happy Holidays' and replaced it with 'Merry Christmas' as this is more in keeping with the British tradition.

I created an octagonal easel card in plain beige backing paper and bordered it in a deep gold that I cloned from the poinsettia.

I added some gold swirls to the base and a single poinsettia flower to the sentiment stoppers.
