Poinsettia Greetings

I made this card using the current sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches using my lovely Sparkling Poinsettia stamps and dies I won in a challenge at the end of last year.

To make this card I used:
     C6 cream matt card blank
     Heartfelt Creations 'Sparkling Poinsettia' stamps and coordinating dies
     Creative Expressions 'Festive Collection - Season's Greetings' die
     Crafts-Too 'Twinkle' embossing folder
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic gold pen
     Snippets of cream matt card and red pearlescent card

I embossed a snippet of cream card, trimmed it so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and then cut it at a diagonal before attaching it to the card blank.  I stamped the poinsettia flowers onto red pearlescent card using crimson red ink and embossed them with clear embossing powder before cutting them with the coordinating die.  I layered three petals and attached them to the centre of the card.  The centre was coloured with the gold metallic pen.  I die cut the sentiment from another snippet of red card and it to the bottom of the card.,

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Christmas Challenge - A for Anything Goes
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     CAS Colours and Sketches - Sketch 527
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes

Beautiful CAS card, Kath. The poinsettia really pops against the white background.

The embossed stars are so pretty Kath as is the pearlescent red you used to stamp the poinsettia, and love the design with the diagonally cut embossed piece, and the red sentiment stands out beautifully against the white. x
