A Poinsettia For You!

Happy Monday!  I am not ready for the long weekend to be over.  Today, I am sharing another card that I made for the Kat Scrappiness Holiday Release.  

I was so excited to use the new Layered Poinsettia Dies.  I love 3-D Flowers and these dies made it so simple!  I started by die-cutting the flower pieces from pink card stock.  I wanted my poinsettia to shimmer, so I pulled out my Splatter Box and used some gold metallic spray.  I never know when to stop, so rather than leaving it spotted, I covered the entirety of the petals with gold.  You really can't tell in the photo, but the flower is rose gold in color.  I did the same with the green leaves but left green showing through.  

I used ink to do a watercolor wash on a piece of white card stock, and added some more gold splatters.  Once it was dry, I die-cut the panel using the A2 Quilted Backdrop Die and adhered the panel to my card base.

I die-cut the Noel sentiment using the Noel Word w/Shadow Dies and made a loopy bow from gold metallic thread.  I adhered the poinsettia to the card front and then added the bow, followed by the sentiment.  To complete the card, I added a handful of rhinestones from the Gold Mine Rhinestone Mix. 

I really love these layering dies!  It made creating a beautiful flower so incredibly easy!

Thanks so much for visiting today!
