I wanted to make a pink and white poinsettia. I stamped the poinsettia four times on watercolor paper - one embossed but not colored to use as a base. Two full poinsettia were colored and stacked on top of each other and from the final poinsettia I cut out just the center leaves and popped them up. The images are embossed with Gold Embossing powder and colored with Tombow markers. Corner pieces were added, as well as a tag and a final ribbon.
Although the details are listed here, there are additional pictures, close ups, tips and more detail on my blog. The entry for this specific item is:
