Over Thanksgiving break, I had a hankering for Poinsettias. Luckily, I had brought along my SAB "Delight in Life" stamp set. I just stamped the flower image on a redish paper and greenish paper (I think Real Red and Garden Green would be perfect) and adhered the two flower images with a dimensional. Then I added some Stickles. (However, I noticed that anything stamped with red or pink ink bleached out from the Stickles. Anyone else have this problem?)
I know these aren't the best color combos, but I was running out of paper away from home. So I just made do.
It's a fun way to make a Christmas card, embellish a gift tag, or even a Christmas Thank You--heaven knows we'll need plenty of Thank You cards after the Holidays.
If you have made paper poinsettias before, leave me a comment with the stamp set and a picture! I'd love to check it out.

Great idea! I am so disappointed that SU doesn't have a poinsettia, so I have used Delight in Life for them too.
