The sentiment is cut from the Thanksgiving Seasonal cart. I created the poinsetta using Mother's Day Bouquet. I found the shape that looked most like a poinsetta to me, then using a red patterned paper from the KaiserCraft December 25th collection I cut out two at 2 1/2 in., two at 2 1/4 in., and two at 2 in. I used a petal roller to give some dimension, layered the cuts together, offsetting each one a bit and secured with a small brad. I then added some gold stickles to the center. I also cut two leaves at 2 in. Here is a close-up of my flower:
This was my first time using crinkle ribbon. I have seen it used in many other's projects, but had never used it myself, and I think I'm addicted! I loved the look I was able to acheive with this ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique.
It really adds some pretty dimension! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my project! I am entering it in the following challenges:My Craft Spot- handmade flowers
