I used a small square of Alcohol Ink blended on Yupo for my background. I adhered it on top of the sweet scalloped-edged white square and popped it up on my card front. I die-cut just two poinsettia (one medium, one small) from white, shaped them with my stylus and mat, then adhered them together, offsetting the petals. I added three small silver glitter balls to the center and popped the flower up on the edge of my alcohol ink panel. To finish, I stamped the sentiment in Delicata Silver ink.

What a beautiful CAS poinsettia design, Loll. Would be a wonderful design to make multiples:-) I love your rich green alcohol ink background against your white die cut poinsettia with the silver beads in the center. Your sentiment stamped in silver is a beautiful final touch. TFS my friend. Hugs...
Love the wonderful contrast between the white of the poinsettia and the beautiful greens of the AI background! The sentiment font goes so well with the scalloped edge border.
Wow, your white crisp poinsettia shines and pops against the dreamy Alcohol Ink background, Loll! I love the beautiful mix of green inks! And the poinsettia looks so pretty with the white scallop frame. The silver pearls and the color of the sentiment are well coordinated too. Hideko xx
