I wanted to try making my own handmade Poinsettia to try something new. I began with a Sizzix die of 3 petal sizes. The red is inked with Tea Stain Distress ink and the light blue petals with Broken China Distress Oxide which I also added as the background of the Neenah white cardstock card base. The leaves are from a deep green pattern paper with Christmas sayings and a weave print. The centers and the holy are cut from Bazzill Gold Foil and the holly is from Altenew Wreath Builder die. The pine needles die is Creek Bank Creations cut from Core-dinations Glitzy Green. They added a bit of sparkle to help the balance. I wanted to add just the sentiment of Merry Christmas (Concord & 9th) but I thought it needed some more texture so I added the blue seambinding triple bow for that. Hope you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas!
