Fred She Said Poinsetta's

When I first saw these poinsetta's early this year at Fred She Said, I knew I just had to have them for my Christmas cards, and I had full intentions of starting my Christmas cards early this year, a few each month so I wouldn't be faced with what I had last year, where I was making cards practically non stop in the run up to Christmas. The poinsetta's come in two colors, red and also a blue set and they are both gorgeous. I will be making a card with the blue set later to show you just how fabulous they also look. The background behind the poinsetta's is a holly leaf stamp I've had for a couple years, and thought it would be perfect for a background behind the flowers. I colored the image using watercolor pencils. I went around the outside of the white card with gold holographic peeloff's and mounted it onto green cardstock, I then cut a larger piece of white cardstock and went around the edges with my MSDL punch. I added some pearl floss behind the poinsetta's and some red gems. I also put some clear gems in the centre of the flowers. I used my MSAL punch on the red card to use as a strip behind the whole centerpiece. I then added some pearls to the red card strip and four gold corner peel off's to draw your eye to the centre of the card.

Thanks for looking.........I hope to be back later today with the blue poinsetta's.
