Thought of those unusual colors of poinsettia and decided to use scraps of a pink and white printed watercolor paper for my flower and a teal-ish color for the leaves. I adore Lawn Fawn's plaid papers and have several different 6x6 pads. Thought this white and grey piece from the Winter pad looked perfect with the pink flower. The sentiment label is one of a trio and I cut all three, using a different one for each card. Couldn't resist a purple one for card two:

I love the pattern in the grey Knit Picky paper and decided to make the leaves a metallic grey. Finally, a traditional red one, using the same patterned paper but in the green:

For all the flowers, I cut two of the layers twice each for a full flower. I put ultra thin foam tape between each layer for some dimension. I already have a fourth flower die cut from more papers in the Knit Picky pack. Very quick and easy!! And my Christmas stash increased again - yay!!
How's your Christmas stash coming? I'm now working on a card for the latest Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Hope to be back with that one later this week. Thanks for stopping by today!!
