Roots of the poinsettia tradition

Did you know? The poinsettia tradition combines ancient Aztec culture and Mexican Christmas folklore. Joel Roberts Poinsett – an avid botanist discovered the plant in Taxco, Mexico and shipped cuttings back to his greenhouses in South Carolina. The plant was later named the poinsettia after him.

This is my October submission for the TLC Tutorial Cooperative. I used the leaf from the bundle as a background on a layer over the card front. Added a wee bit of Petal Pink ink to the tips of the poinsettia petals for more colour. Love how this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!
