Today we are show casing the oh so beautiful Poinsettia Blooms. I just love anything with flowers and their is nothing that says Christmas like a beautiful set of Poinsettia' flower. I went with stamping all over and also a CASE card. I wanted to show case the stamp more then the embellishments or layers. I use PTI card stock, gems and stamped all over and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and I highlighted the flowers with Gelly Rollo Clear Star Pen. 

For my second creation I picked up an $0.11 cent ceramic tile. I started by inking my stamp up with Versa Mark, stamped, add some black embossing powder then heat embossed it.  Caution: When you heat emboss make sure to have it on a heat safe surface because the title will get hot.  Let it cool down and then color with markers. I use Bic/Sharpies. Because I couldn't get my alcohol markers (SN) to blend.  I add some Velcro to the bottom; so it wouldn't scratch the desk. Its perfect for the Holiday's to add a warm cup of Cocoa.
