Cottage Cutz Poinsetta Die

The Cottage Cutz poinsetta die is quite intricate. I cut several of them in both red and green cardstock. Next, I cut & pasted the green leafy parts on to the main red die, added another large flower popped up for dimension, and covered the scroll with gold Stickles.  I also sponged Aged Mahogany, Tea Dye, and Festive Berries distress ink on the poinsetta leaves, along with a bit of white chalk for highlights. Paper is Basic Grey Figgy Pudding scraps from my stash. Verse is a cling stamp by Stampendous and is embossed with clear EP.
