Pretty Poinsettia & A Stitched Season!

Good morning and welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration photo challenges us to use anything you see on this photo:

First off, it’s a quilted square and it’s got poinsettias too! I opted to use a quilted print from our A Stitched Season Designer Paper and topped it off with a beautiful layered Christmas flower from the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle:

What you’ll notice on the diecut poinsettia layers, is the deep embossing from the diecuts. I have 2 layers of poinsettias on this flower topped with a button embellishment and a Linen Thread bow:
