For Dina's Living Coral MIXed media challenge. Colour challenges are usually hard for me, but I did my best to incorporate a couple of the other colours from the photo too.
I started out by swiping some white card with Abandoned Coral DOX and using that to cut my poinsettia when it had dried. After embossing, I rubbed them with some Craft-T luster rub-ons.
The leaf layer was already on my desk, because actually I've had a traditional red poinsettia waiting there to make up into something. It was cut from a gel print, today I edged it with a gold pen. I also added some die-cut pine boughs, and used Prills for the poinsettia centre.
For the base layer, I used a stencil and scraped a couple of blue chalk pastels over it, brushed them in and then sprayed with fixative. Then I embossed it with the knit ef, trimmed it, and edged it with gold ink. I still had fantasy film and fibre handy from last week, so I stuck a bit of fibre and a twist of cheesecloth down before adding the floral arrangement. Added some gold Stickles and to finish off, a couple of little tags and a gold cord bow.

Poinsettia are beautiful...love the textured and rubbed embossing on the petals...lots of stand-out texture, which fits that wonderful cable knit emboss card background as well. Lots of details, lots of beautiful elements!
