Poinsettia Sketch

I discovered the Dirty Dozen Christmas (Sketch) Challenges on SCS this year and have enjoyed making a card each month. Yes, I know (now) that these challenges have been going on for ten years, but I had no clue. Sometimes I think I have my head in the sand. But I digress. This being June, it's my sixth time to participate.


This month's sketch:


You will notice I took some creative liberty with my card. For one thing, the sketch looks square, but I rarely make square cards, since most of my cards get mailed and square ones require extra postage. Another difference with my card is the smaller square/rectangle on the sketch is the poinsettia on my card.


I really wish the layers of the poinsettia showed up in the photo. There are three of them, each popped up with foam to give the flower some wonderful depth.
