This is a Color challenge. I cut a piece of Basic Gray Coordinations CS to size then die cut three leaves and two sprigs out of the middle of it. I then glued it to my Flirty Flamingo card base and added a layer of DSP from the Brights Collection in a small Flirty Flamingo design. I chose the striped design from the same set and cut it down for my layer and added a Basic Black layer behind it with a small reveal. I die cut the three sizes of Poinsettia petals with the matching embossing dies from the Petal Pink CS and the center from Flirty Flamingo CS. I painted the petals with the Moonlight Smooch paint, curled them slightly, glued them together offsetting each layer and added the center. I stamped the sentiment in Archival Black ink directly onto the DSP and added the ribbon. I then glued this panel to the card front. I arranged the leaves and sprigs and glued them to the back of the flower then added it to the card with dimensionals. I used three Artisan Pearls in the center of the flower and added two more to the card front. I finished by adding a small bow on top of the ribbon.
