Congrats KopyKat for being this week's QFTD!! You are very deserving of your crown! I chose this card to case;poppin pastels by KopyKat at Splitcoaststampers. I loved the textured bg and pretty flower!
This card if for a friend who's getting married at Christmas time. Her wedding colors are copper and brown and she's decorating with poinsettas.
I used a snowflake ef, and embossed a layer of vellum, and moved the ribbon to the top of the card. I also used this week's F4A challenge and made a hole in my top layer. My vellum layer is wrapped around the cream cs and stamped underneath with versamark and embossed with chocolate scented ep. I stamped two more poinsettas on vellum, embossed them, and cut them out.
Thanks so much Anne for choosing such a sweet and thoughtful stamper this week, and thanks for looking!

Having those poinsettas softly in the background vellum window, then cutting out some emb ones for the outside was a terrific idea - really a beautiful card! TFS
