Hey, friends!! Happy Friday!! Have you been working on your Christmas cards? Hopefully the card I have to share today will serve as inspiration for you!!

I began by gold heat embossing the Coming Up Poinsettias Stamp Set onto Bristol cardstock. I watercolored the image with Zig Clean Color Markers, then cut it out with the Coordinating Die. I also cut two more layers from white cardstock and adhered them behind the watercolored die-cut.

For the background, I gold heat embossed the Modern Plaid Cling Background Stamp onto a panel of peach cardstock. I used the second largest die in the Rectangle A2 Nested Die Set to die-cut the panel. I blended Peach Blossom, Coral Cavern and Valentine Red Inks onto the panel with blending brushes, blending the darkest color around the edge and fading it toward the middle. The poinsettia die-cut were adhered to the panel. The sentiment is from the Easy Expressions Holiday Stamp Set. I stamped it with Valentine Red and Noir Inks, then die-cut it with the Coordinating Die and adhered it across the poinsettias. A few Medallion Gold Sequins and some gold Stickles on the centers of the poinsettias add a little shine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
