This is Part 2 of a 4 Part Series featuring the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and the coordinating Poinsettia Dies.
These cards all feature the large Poinsettia from the featured Stamp Set cut out with the coordinating dies. The flower can be made with 3 or 4 layers, which are aranged as shown. I creased and bent each petal and the leaves (if used) to add some added dimension to the flower. By using various color flowers with coordinating colored DSP the possibilities are endless, with each card being unique.
The cards for this posting feature various sheets of Poinsettia Place DSP. By each card I have added notes about the color cardstock used, the flower centers, and sentiment stamps. The flowers and pieces are assembled similarly.
