DD8ABC13M: we are the letter M. Can you find my M? I used my Mosaic punch to make a poinsettia. No double challenge for me this week.
TLC663: stone cold twisted is this week's technique challenge. The flower petals are made from the panel I created with it. It was fun and I want to do it again. I think I have the wrong glossy paper but I still like how it turned out.
I punched 20 mosaics from the paper and assembled my flower gluing them to some scrap cardstock hidden under all of that. Added some leaves and it was done. I popped it up on the black panel with dimensionals.
Thanks for looking.

What a gorgeous Christmas card this is Catherine. I almost fainted when I read you used the mosaic punch to make this gorgeous poinsettia with- that took time and patience my friend! I love the technique you used to make the poinsettia petals with too- this is so striking- and gorgeous! The angled panel and hints of sparkly gold really give this card that touch of elegance I love so much! ~Karen

Great idea to use that punch for your poinsettia...I've seen others make them but certainly not as pretty as yours is using the stone cold twisted technique! Your color is so rich and the petals have such depth! So pretty with your added touches of gold....to me a card with an angle is extra special~

Gorgeousness sis. Going to have to try this when I get me hands on a mosaic punch if I don’t already have one lol sometimes I lose track of what we have and don’t have. Your going to need to teach me how to use that app you have

Catherine, I learn so much from you. Who would have thought the mosiac punch would make such a fantastic poinsettia. This is so elegant and pretty. Love your gold glimmer centers too!
