I searched the site for poinsettia and came across a book with a pink poinsettia, which is my favorite. The flower was diecut, I daubered on some pink pirouette ink, then gave the petals a bit of dimension. The burlap was attached to the card base and I put the poinsettia on it, then added the rhinestones. The sentiment was stamped in pink pirouette. Here's my inspiration. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/less...=2940013157101

So you're on a roll today!! Love this card too! It would also work great in the F4A189 and HYCCT1304 challenges, so you may want to check them out! Love the depth and texture in such an elegant design! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Pretty Christmas card! The way you colored the poinsettia makes it look velvety and it looks great with the texture of the contrasting burlap. Also, I adore the corresponding pink sentiment.

I love the soft inking of the white poinsettia to make it subtly pink!! What a nice counterpoint to the roughness of the burlap!!

What an awesome CAS design. I just love the soft pink flower against the texture of the burlap. Sooo pretty. Thanks for playing with us as we Punch Out Breast Cancer in the HYCCT challenge.

I have got to buy me some burlap. Every time I see a card made with it, I just love it.
