Christmas Poinsettia's

Hi everyone. Only 12 days before Christmas, its flying by. I don't know were the time goes, any way just enough time to post a few more Christmas cards on my blog before l deliver them.
This card came about when I was looking through my card stash and came across lots of stamped poinsettia's l had stamped on to a sheet of card from a borrowed stamp. I decided to make use of it and that was what inspired me to make this card.
Start the card by sprizting a A5 card with a gold mattalic mister, leave to dry, when dry take a oblong die, Cut an aperture into the card front.
Next take a pre cut lattice sheet or if you have a lattice die, cut one from it. Stamp with a script stamp in gold all over the lattice, cut to fit behind the aperture, back gold mirri behind it and adhere to the back of the aperture.
Cut a strip of vellum and stamp a sentiment onto it in black ink, add this to the card.
With my pre stamped poinsettia sheet, cut out and ink up with distress ink ( barn door ) stamp with a script stamp then use gems for the centres.
Make the ribbon leaves by cutting a small length of ribbon, fold over and pleat the edge then with fine wire wrap around it to make it secure on the end make six all together.
Arrange the poinsettia's, ribbon leave's on the card. Use pinflare glue to give the flowers lots of depth and diminish.
To finish it off add two flourishes and a die-cut gold lantern.
Hope you like!
Thanks for stopping by and Happing Crafting to you all.
