I recently purchased 3 x parchment grids from Tattered Lace. I particularly like grid No: 014 although they are all beautiful.
Using this grid I made a parchment poinsettia using 4 of the 5 layers provided. The pattern makes a slightly exaggerated style of flower but I love it and enjoyed making it although it was very time consuming. Not one to be made quickly. I added some glitter to all the edges to give it some Christmas sparkle.
I made the base of my topper by using an outside square 'groove' from one of my many Groovi Plates and then made a border with crosses and a sun tool and drew my own inside line to complete the border. I wanted something simple that didn't take away from the poinsettia.
The sentiment is also from a Groovi Plate I particularly like the lettering used on this plate.
Hope you like it.
Here is a close up of the poinsettia
I like this simple style of topper and could well make it again with something else instead of a poinsettia. On one of the other grids is a beautiful Angel I am wanting to use.
Love to hear from you.
