I chose the beautiful poinsettia from the Simon Says Stamp Winter Flowers set. I love this series of flowers by Simon Says Stamp, the dot detail on them is such fun. I first stamped my poinsettia in Copic friendly ink with my stamp postioner and colored it with my favorite christmas reds. I then created a mask and partially cut it out to stamp my leaves. I used my second stamp positioner to stamp the leaves once again in the black ink and colored them in.
Once that was done I re-stamped the pointsettia with Versamark Ink and used gold embossing powder. I followed the same steps for the leaves.
I then die cut my tag and again with Tonic specialty paper. I used the same Tonic paper and embossed my sentiment from the Tiny Word Christmas set in white. I used foam tape to place the strip on the tag. I used a some Lawn Trimmings in Peppermint and some ribbon from my stash for the topper.
