Year Of Flowers Poinsettia

Happy Saturday. I hope your week was a good one. It is suppose to be in the 50's here this weekend. Hopefully the warmer weather will help to melt the rest of the snow. Today I want to a card I made with Year Of Flowers Pointsetta. This completes the challenge I set for myself at the beginning of the year to use all the flowers in this series. I got the inspiration for this card here. This is my version.

I started by stamping the Poinsettia 3 times then I colored it with Copics. After that I cut them out and assembled them with foam tape to give it dimension. Next I cut the quaterfoil piece from Scarlett Jewel Cardstock using this SVG file When I was done with that I attached it to a piece of script patterned paper. Finally I stamped the Believe sentiment from the Believe set on a piece of Rustic White cardstock, drew 2 gold lines with a paint pen then added machine stitching to finish it off.
I am really proud of myself for completing this challenge and have created a Pinterest Board for all my Year Of Flower cards here Hopefully it will help inspire you to use your sets too. That's all for now I am off to finish the Etsy order I have been working on all week. I hope rest of your weekend is a great one and as always thanks for stopping by!

WOW... this is just GORGEOUS! I need to get a couple of additional Year of Flowers sets. I love the two I have (rose and lily) but there are others that are sooo pretty and perfect for Copics. You rocked this!

What a pretty card. Congratulations on achieving the goal you set for yourself. I only have one of those flower sets, and it does not receive nearly enough love. I'm off to check out your pinterest board to see all of your YOF cards.

Beautiful card, Terri. Very rich in colors. Congratulations for completing your goal of making a card for each month. All the cards are so lovely. I don't own all the sets but I do have the smaller collection set. I should challenge myself to make a set of cards with each flower. Thank you for the inspiration. (Looks like I am going to be busy next year :)
