Glitzy Pretty Poinsettia

Who says poinsettia's need to be Red...or Pink for that matter! I found this glitzy bronze sample that uses our new Metal Effects Specialty Paper from the current catalog, paired with the Neutral Noel DSP and the retired Fine Shine Specialty Paper. It also uses the amazing Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies, which I just LOVE!!

Measurements:

Metal Effects (N): 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" (base), 1/4 sheet (poinsettia)
Neutral Noel (N): 3 3/8" x 4 1/2" (swirly pattern)
Fine Shimmer Paper (ret): 3" x 3 1/2", scrap
Very Vanilla:3 3/8" x 9"

To Make This Card:

Die cut the largest Scalloped Christmas Cheer die from the Metal Effects DSP.
Next, fold the Very Vanilla piece in half. This is actually the card! To that, add the decorative DSP. Then, adhere to the center of the scalloped base. You will be able to see the stitched center outline.
Now, die cut the 4 petals of the Poinsettia from the Metal Effects quarter sheet. These petals can be made with more depth by using the Impressions Plate before removing them from the dies.
Also die cut one large leaf and the 2 "centers". The leaf can also be run through with the Impressions Plate! (really a pad)
Shape the 4 poinsettia pieces, if desired.
Assemble the poinsettia, starting with the large, 4-petal piece. I used Mini Glue Dots, but Multipurpose Glue works, too. Then add the 1 or 2 "centers.
Next, adhere the large "leaf" to the card front, and then add the poinsettia over it with a Dimensional.
Finish with Metallic Gems.
