I started out by stamping 13 leaves from the French Foliage stamp set using Cherry cobbler ink onto Very Vanilla card stock. They were embossed with clear embossing powder and cut out. Each leaf was then placed in a 3/4" circle to which tombo glue had been applied. Seven (7) leaves were in the bottom row, and six (6) on the top row. A 3/4" champagne glitter circle was attached to the middle, and a red glimmer brad inserted in the middle of that and the flower was finished off nicely.
The leaves were also from the same stamp set, but were stamped using Gumball green on Very Vanilla cardstock. After cutting out, they were attached to the bottom of the flower. The Poinsettia was attached to the card using dimensionals.

Gosh Maria, I never thought of using this stamp for a poinsettia!! How brilliant of you. I was kind of disappointed because I wasn't able to purchase the new poinsettia in Holiday mine, but now I can still make cards using this stamp -- thanks so much for sharing!!
Great card! That poinsettia is just so gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Create with Connie & Mary.

Gorgeous...I haven't done one of those French Foliage poinsettias yet this year...need to pull it out before it is too late! It is perfect for the sketch! Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
Oh my gosh - how clever are you to turn those leaves into a poinsettia! I love that stamp set and I'm excited to see it used for a Christmas card.
