It is that time of month again that when the design team rallies together and around a theme over at Elizabeth Craft Design.  This month we are celebrating “A Floral Christmas” and to get in on the fun, I pulled out the new stamp set Poinsettia Stamp set, because what is more Christmas than poinsettias.

Step One: Trim a piece of 85lb White Soft Finish cardstock, a piece of 100lb White Soft Finish Cardstock, and a piece of True Green Soft Finish cardstock to 4.25x.5 inches.

Step Two:  Stamp out the large poinsettia from the Poinsettia stamp set several times onto a piece of 85lb White Soft Finish cardstock using black copic friendly ink.  Then do the same things with the small poinsettia stamp.

Step Three:  Color the poinsettias in with copic markers.  I decided that my background would be black and white and colored it such.

Step Four:  Stamp the large poinsettia onto a piece of 100lb White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Step Five:  Color in the focal image with copic markers.  I colored this image in with vivid color.

Step Six:  Die cut out the flower using the coordinating Poinsettia die set.

Step Seven:  Adhere the green cardstock to an A2 card frame.  Trim the background cardstock to 4×5.25 inches and adhere it to the card frame, centering it on the green cardstock.

Step Eight:  Using scrapes of True Green Soft Finish Cardstock, trim .25 inches and adhere it to the background.

Step Nine:  Adhere the poinsettia to the card using some 3 dimensional tape so it pops up and hangs off the card.

Step Ten:  Using another scrap of True Green cardstock, stamp a sentiment on it using the Classic Christmas Sentiment stamp set.  Adhere inside the card.  Stamp the poinsettia onto the corner of the card.
