Poinsettias in Gold...

Hello and Happiest Monday to you!  (Does that sound almost leprechaun? hehehe!)  Anywho, today I am up on The Alley Way Stamps blog sharing this pretty little Christmas card...

To create this card I started by layering some strips of patterned paper onto the cardbase.  Next I diecut the tag and stamped the greeting from the Mistletoe Kisses Stamp Set.  I then stamped and embossed the poinsettias in 24k gold embossing powder six times.  I then fussy cut three of embossed flowers and cut just the middle part of the flower out of the remaining three.  I then glued them together and added some dimension my slightly curling the edges.  Next I added color to the centers and adhered them all onto the tag.  The sequins added more sparkle and shine for a finishing touch!
