This is a great challenge. I really love anything Christmas and really didn't mind making them in this hot, hot weather. The poinsettia was coloured with prisma pencil & mineral spirits. I made three then layered them, removing some of the petals each time I added it. The leaves are cut from the holly cuttlebug folder.

Yikes, another incredible card! Using the cb folder on either side is just amazing and your cut out floral image just adds so much glam to this already gorgeous card.

Stunning is the word that immediately popped into my mind upon looking at your card, it apparently popped int others minds as well, but it is the word that I must use because it aptly describes this beautiful card. The way you put together the poinsettia is absolutely lovely. So very well done with this card.

Very very pretty. I know what your taking about heat.
I should make some Winter Cards to cool down.
Its a hot one here in Tucson. 108 yesterday.
I'm so thankful to the A/C still doing its job.
Love your poinsettia and how you cut it to work the
way you did.
