I was going to do another winter tree scene but changed my mind and ended up using one of my 'go
to' Christmas Stamps which is this Poinsettia stamp from Creative Expressions. The set has several different sizes of the flowers but for this card I just used the largest one.
I stamped and gold embossed onto white vellum then fussy cut each one.
On the base card just stamped and embossed few blobs (!!) (SU Timeless Textures) on the left - (on reflection may have been better just spattering with gold paint as I think they look a bit 'bulky')
Positioned the flowers folding in and securing those that overlapped the edge.
Sentiment from my stash again gold embossed.
Originally thought about pearls for the centres but them found these lonely glittery bits in the Blingy Box so used them instead!
And another bonus - this is quite a flat card despite the blingy centres so in keeping with my promise not to make OTT multi layered cards to save postage!
Our prize this month is all these goodies and to be in with a chance you need to link up your creation.Please remember we are a Stamping challenge and so we must see a stamped image sentiment etc as the FOCAL element of your submission. Stamping must be the central point of attention! Hope you will find time to join in with us!
Have a great day whatever you're doing. x

A very classy and elegant design, Viv. You must have plenty of patience to cut out all those flowers, but worth the time I'm sure it took as they are beautiful!

This is so stylish and elegant. The vellum flowers are stunning. I must make it a resolution to use more vellum in the new year x
Gorgeous card Viv!! Love the gold embossed vellum poinsettias ... they look so pretty and delicate. Great design overlapping them slightly. xx
This is so so pretty Viv and the gold embossing on the vellum is fabulous, and love the little dots of gold too, and the gold sentiment keeps unity of tone which looks perfect. A really elegant card. x
