So we've got a full bloom, a side bloom and two leaves, all in solid and line images and a couple of dot clusters to use as the centres, along with a few words. Don't forget, the images won't align properly, because they're not meant to. We're being artsy here ;)
I think poinsettias are stunning in the coral and cream colours, as well as the vibrant reds, so I've started with coral. I cut out the stamped images and mounted them onto a sloshed background.
After I'd stamped the images on this card I painted in the background colour, adding depth near the flowers, then I masked the flowers and stamped the words in Old Paper for a subtle background.
How about a clean and graphic style?
On this one I stamped the outline images in complementary colours rather than black, and stamped the stamens in yellow. Added a bit of torn Washi tape to finish.
