I have had this Power Poppy image of a poinsettia for a very long time. I have always colored it red. I went to Power Poppy today and sawa sample done in light beige and pinks for the buds. I said why not let's go for something completely odd. I decided to make it gold. I would assume there are really no gold poinsettia. But hey, artistic license! I colored the image with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils, only because I can no longer make very fine lines with my markers. My vision is going and I may have to have eye surgery shortly in the future. I planned on the background paper an olive green with gold leaves on it. When I happened across this paper in the drawer I knew I found the perfect paper.
