I don't know who came up with it first, but the one I saw was by Gretchen Barron. I have updated the tag to a current stamp, and used a different color combo, but other than that, I didn't change anything. Why mess with perfection?
To make this gorgeous poinsettia, I used the small leaf from French Foliage. I stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink on Riding Hood Red card stock 13 times and cut out each leaf. I punched a 1-1/4" circle and arranged seven of the leaves around it. Then a face down inking in VersaMark followed by a dusting of Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, (along with some help from my heat gun), and the bottom layer was finished. The remaining 6 leaves were individually embossed, then arrange over the base, each attached with a dimensional. The Very Vanilla card stock was run through the Big Shot with the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder to compliment the big poinsettia. Always Artichoke 1/2" Seam Binding makes it into an elegant "present".
