Poinsettias for Christmas


 Shauna shared a most wonderful video on the PTI blog featuring the process she followed to create a gorgeous Christmas card using the newest Into the Blooms set. 

 I wasn't able to add that set to my collection before it sold out, but I looked carefully at Into the Blooms II.  This beautiful layered blossom was cut from a sheet of Sweet Blush and inked very lightly with Autumn Rose.  The sprigs are from Effortless Beauties and are stamped in the same inks, with Autumn Rose being used in the second generation for a lighter effect.  Since both the colorful parts of the poinsettia and the greenery are all 'leaves', I cut the leaves from the flower die as well. (That sounds strange!!!)   Since all three layers were used for the larger flower,  I cut two more large layers from green, snipped them into sections, and taped them to the back of the pink layers.  A tiny tag finishes the card.
