Here is my first card - I made Brusho backgrounds with red and green powders sprinkled into watercolour paper and spritzed with water, then stamped the poinsettia onto the red and green backgrounds, then fussy cut both images, cutting away the leaves of the red to just leave the bracts, then paper-pieced the red onto the green. The centre is made with gold Liquid Pearls. I am sharing this with
CAS Watercolour - Christmas florals and greenery
The Flower Challenge - A special occasion
I used the rest of my Brusho backgrounds to make three more of the poinsettias, as above, to use for this card.
The lovely embossed holly frame uses a Card Making Magic embossing folder. The middle poinsettia is placed on foam pads to raise it slightly above the other two.
I am sharing this one with

Two absolutely beautiful cards Jane! Your Brusho's Poinsettia's are just lovely and so vibrant...love the colors!! Really love that embossing folder you used on the 2nd card too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!! :0)
Two outstanding cards. Love the CAS look of the first but that framework just works perfectly with the three poinsettias. Hugs Mrs A.
Gorgeous embossed frame with your poinsettia trio ... so glad you shared your blooms with us at Jingle Belles.
Beautiful poinsettias Jane! The brushos are so bright and colourful and make the most lovely flowers. Love your CAS design on your first card with the poinsettia framed in a circle. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!

Lovely poinsettias - framed perfectly by the lovely embossing on your second card. Thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations.
That single poinsettia makes a powerful impact, Jane! All the white space makes it shine! I love the three placed diagonally with the embossed frame too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!

Two fabulous cards - and what wonderful contrast between the first very CAS one and the second one! Love the use of the Brushos and the fussy cutting - great layering of the leaves and the bracts. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
two beautiful cards, love the first in its simplicity and the second with that wonderful embossed detail.Thank you so much for joining us, at the Flower Challenge this month. Always appreciate your taking the time to join in. Hugs Aileen Design Team.
ok, so, i'm definitely not an authority on CAS lol, but to me BOTH of these meet the requirements! the second one has more florals and that lovely bit of pressure embossing... but it's still got plenty of white space and very clean lines. i especially love that you did TWO gorgeous takes! thanks for helping us celebrate festive flower power at JINGLE BELLES! ♥
