Good Friday everyone!
Today's LSC was a little different. We had to use pink somewhere on our card, and we had to use a leaf.
I have been inspired by so many of the gorgeous pointsettias that have been done lately by cullenwr and jaydekay. I had wanted to try doing a pinkish poinsettia so today was the day to try it. I also had wanted to try the new tutorial here on SCS for the Scallop Edge Medallion.
My Very Vanilla Medallion had to be cut to 3" instead of the 2 3/4" in the tutorial because it is the Fiskar punch and I needed a little more space. Love the technique, though I wish I had stamped some flourishes on it before I mounted it on dimensionals... too late now! I did use some river rock ink and a blender pen to run a little around all the edges for a little definition, and the word "joy" is embossed in gold.
The poinsettias are stamped on Very Vanilla and embossed in gold, then colored with a blender pen and Pink Pirouette ink. I cut 2 extra flowers and cut out the central petals to pop up in the center of the middle flower. The other one I colored with river rock and cut out as leaves.
Everything is mounted on a river rock panel which had been run through the CB with the leaf ef. That was mounted on PP, and on a white base. Ribbon, pearls and gold liquid pearls finish it off.
Thanks for looking! I'm sorry I can't get a good photo today! It is very dark here today and the embossing is just tough to photo.

Stunning card, Grace! I love the gold embossed poinsettias and the beautiful scalloped medallion! Wonderful color combo and sentiment! The CB leaf background just completes everything!

Great job Grace. I really like the poinsettias. They look good in this color. The gold is the perfect touch. The addition of the pearls and the ribbon is super. I like the colors you chose for your cb piece. TTYS
