Floating Poinsettia Ornament
Materials:
Rue Romantique bezel - open backed
Susan Lenart Kazmer ”Carnivale” German Glass Glitter
Spellbinders® Layered Poinsettia die
Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® machine
Connie Crystal red crystal and antiqued silver metallic beads
Red cardstock
Beacon Adhesives Zip-Dry™ Adhesive
Thin jewelry wire
Jewelry pliers
Instructions:
Use Grand Calibur® and Layered Poinsettia die to cut and emboss 3 of the smallest poinsettia flowers from red cardstock.
Mix ICE Resin® according to instructions, coat back of each flower with resin and let cure. Coat front of each flower with resin, adding gold German Glass Glitter to centers of two flowers, using a small amount of ICE Resin® over the glitter to seal it in place. Let cure. Add second layer of resin to front and back of each flower and let cure.
Add red crystal bead right next to loop in bezel, then continue adding small metallic beads to end of wire, looping around and attaching to create hanging loop at end.
Mount one flower front with glitter center to flower without glitter center so petals are alternating. Mount to hanging piece of wire in open area of bezel, then mount second flower with glitter center to back of first two, covering wire. This allows the poinsettia to “float” in the center of the bezel opening.

Beautiful decoration Cindi
This is such a lovely ornament Cindy. It's gorgeous the way you left the visual open space in the backless bezel and juxtaposed it with the positive space of the die cut. The color is divine too. Awesome!
Gorgeous! Love the floating effect!
I'm hoping and this is beautiful~
This is S T U N N I N G ! ! ! ! I love how the poinsettia is floating! Such an elegant and beautiful ornament! Any tree would love to have this hanging from it's limbs! TFS!
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Great way to use the open back bezel. I havent seen this one. Its perfect with the poinsettia. I cant ever keep them alive, even through the holidays so this is a perfect way to have a poinsetta without having to remember to water!!! Very nice
