Blue, white and texture

The current challenge at Merry Monday is 'Blue and White with Texture' and I made this card following the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I'm also entering the Winter Wonderland 'Add Some Sparkle and Bling' challenge.

Card blank: 7" x 5" white silk
Stamp: Woodware 'Noel Reindeer'
Die: Creative Dies 'Nesting Poinsettia' (magazine freebie)
Embossing: Kars tan embossing mat
Ink: Versafine Majestic Blue
Card: Blue mirri and white silk
Other: Blue gems, white sequins

I trimmed a piece of white silk card, layered it onto blue mirri and attached it to the card front.  I then stamped the sentiment onto white card, trimmed it to size, layered it onto blue mirri and attached it to the card.  I die-cut and embossed the large poinsettia leaf from blue mirri and three smaller flowers from white card.  These were glued together and small blue gems were added to the centre before the flower was attached to the card with Pinflair glue.  To finish, I attached three small white sequins.
