Festive Wishes

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

 A festive card today.  I've stuck to traditional colours and I do love the combination of red and gold.


I stamped, heat embossed with gold powder and fussy cut the poinsettia cluster. I did this twice and layered just the flowers on top, adding pearls to their centres. This stamp is an old one from Woodware which I bring out every year. The whole stamp includes a sentiment too, but I didn't use it this time as it didn't fit in with my new Yuletide Frame from Crafter's Companion.

I arranged the flowers  in the left corner and used a sentiment die from Sue Wilson - white with a red metallic drop shadow.

Some red gems in the holly in the corners were all that was needed to finish.   I wanted the flowers and die to be the stars as it were, so I used simple dotty paper in the background from Papermania's Tulip Christmas range.
