I heat embossed the Build A Flower Poinsettia from Altenew with Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder onto watercolour paper. I used distress inks as watercolours.

I have shown how to layer this Poinsettia flower to make it look more fuller in THIS post.

I did the same technique again for this card. 

There is tons of dimension on my card. The leaves and flowers (and some petals) are all on different levels. 

I hope you liked it!
