I hope the day comes when I don't have to think so hard about combinations of paper and products to use to make cards. I love the challenges in spite of my skills!
Paper: Paper Studio and Hallmark
Embossing stamp and powder: Stampabilities / CTMH Z668 (gold) & Stamp-N-Stuff (red tinsel)
Ribbon: Craft Narrows
Rhinestones: Studio 8
The card itself is simple and the only somewhat time consuming part was figuring out what I wanted to do with the poinsettia. I used gold embossing powder on green and red paper and then cut them out and offset them so they'd have a layered look. I wanted to repeat the embossing and chose to outline the darkest square.
I used dots to raise them and the upper squares. I was pleased to find some left over red and gold ribbon that looked good with the flowers. The inside of the card also has an embossed pointsettia done in red in the lower right corner.
You're embossed flower is just beautiful! a lovely Christmas card!
