This is Part 3 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 dimension to the flower. By using various color flowers with coordinating colored DSP the possibilities are endless, with each card being unique.
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.
The first two cards for this posting feature paper cut from Wrapped in Plaid DSP.
-This first Poinsettia is 3 die cut layers of Gold Glimmer Paper, on a top mat cut from the DSP, and matted on a bottom layer of Garden Green CS.
-Before adding the flower to the top mat I added two pieces of Gold Trimmed White Satin Ribbon, crisscrossed as shown. This flower center is a Beaded Pearl piece that coordinated with this suite of products. The flower is popped up with Dimensionals. A couple of pearls were added to the top mat.
