Flourishes Christmas Poinsettia
Posted by Becca Feeken on Thursday, October 16th, 2008
TNothing like a poinsettia to get you in the Christmas mood! This is one of the Flourishes new releases, Poinsettia and Boxwood. There are 10 images in the set including a large and small poinsettia and leaves. It’s such an elegant image and the possibilities are endless.
I wanted to make a pink and white poinsettia. I stamped the poinsettia four times on watercolor paper - one embossed but not colored to use as a base. Two full poinsettia were colored and stacked on top of each other and from the final poinsettia I cut out just the center leaves and popped them up. The images are embossed with Gold Embossing powder and colored with Tombow markers. Corner pieces were added, as well as a tag and a final ribbon.
Supplies:
Stamps: Flourishes - Poinsettia and Boxwood
Paper: Swathmore 140 lb Watercolor
Ink: Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder
Accessories: Nestabilities Tag Trio, Ribbon, 2 Gold Brads, Tombow Markers
Don’t forget to check out my Blog Candy Post below, I will be selecting a winner on Saturday. Have a Happy Stamping Weekend!!

Good evening, Becca - I love using poinsettias on my Christmas cards but, of course, I use 3d découpage images. But this card takes my breath away - a truly elegant card.
That is a gorgeous cards as is all your work.
Becca,
So pretty and elegant. I love the way you layered the flower and its leaves. I have got to know something, where did you get those pretty gold corner accents. They look so pretty next to all of the gold embossing and gold brads.

This is just spectacular in every way!!! What a work of art!!!
My friend and I have loved this set. This past month they had it on sale 10% off all sets and we talked each other out of it. Now you come along and make the most beautiful card that I have ever seen, Now guess who is paying full price for the set? Love what you do, your the greatest.!!!
Oh my goodness Becca, this is way beyond stunning. Words fail me.

Absolutely gorgeous! I just got that set in the mail this week - I’m going to have to case your card… or at least try to. I’m not sure I can watercolor but I guess there’s one way to find out! :)
Stunning Becca, absolutely stunning! Your design is over-the-top gorgeous!
Absolutely stunning. Gets you nin the holiday mood.
WOW You never disappoint me. I always look forward
to seeing your website pop-up in my inbox (I skip all
my emails and go directly to yours). This card is so
sweet.
Gorgeous! Love the large gold brads on the tag.
Have only seen small ones used but the larger
ones are AMAZING!
Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Oh my goodness Becca this is absolutely stunning. Your work is just outstanding!

Your work is fabulous! I am always excited when see I have received a post from your blog, it just brightens my day.
Becca your cards are simply sensational, and provide so much inspiration to others. Well done and Thank you.
Breathtaking card as ever! Amazing work!
I love the card Becca. If you wouldn’t mind, please what is the background and the corners?
Oh Becca!
Once more I am speechless! You’ve provided yet again inspiration for those of us that so admire your work and are looking for ways to improve our own. I think one of the things that make your works of art so beautiful is the use of the watercolor paper…whereas I have only used cardstock until now…I think a higher grade of paper must be my next purchase! Thanks again! Dusty

Becca this is another really pretty one. I got this set in the mail yesterday and can’t wait to get my Halloween cards done so that I can work on my Christmas cards!

Oh wow, so elegant and gorgeous! Look at that satin bow - stunning!

Becca, I love the star book you made! My favorite new Spellbinder’s release is the new extra long scalloped rectangles. You do such lovely work and I think any company would love to have you on their design team! Blessings, Joyce
Hi Becca!
You are so talented and I can tell you love Jesus!
My favorite Spellbinder’s frame is the extra long scalloped rectangles.
