Vintage Poinsettia - Challenge 143 1-2-3 LNS group

Some people have visions of fairies dancing in their heads ----me, I have flowers.
Today I made a vintage Poinsettia






Stamp: Forest Festivities
Ink:Chocolate Chip
Papers: Riding Hood Red, Naturals Ivory, Chocolate Chip, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper, Always artichoke
Accessories: Flower builder punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Modern word label punch, Scallop border punch, Houndstooth embossing folder, 1 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon cut in half and frayed, beads (retired), Dazzling details (mixed with some gold glitter)

How the flower was made:
After punching out the required number of petals and leaves: 5 for the larger petals on the lower layer; 5 for the smaller petals; 3 for the larger leaves - they were spritzed with water, crumpled up (don's removed the wrinkles) and then uncurled and allowed to dry.
