Blooming Poinsettia

Photo Details

Poster: Loll Thompson

This card is for today's challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More --- Flowers.

I used a sketch from a previous challenge and kept it CAS by making the three background layers white. I used Poppy Stamps new "Blooming Poinsettia" die ... with Rich Razzleberry and Gumball Green cardstock. The poinsettia really pops on the all white background. I let the die do all the work, just adding a bit of shaping to the petals and sponging around the edges to give the flower lots of depth.

For more details, and a close up view of the poinsettia, check out my blog.

Come join in the fun at ATS&M.

How can one pass this one up without a BIG WOW comment. Your poinsettia is the most stunning I've seen. The color combination is beautiful and pops off the white. Gee, I'm bummed as my last card I used a K&C poinsettia - what a cheat I am. It doesn't even come close to this AMAZING one you have created.

Wowza! That flower really does pop! What a great idea of making several layers white to keep the visual interest without compromising CAS style. Love it!
