The poinsettia is made from BoBunny Noel Cheer cardstock,cut with a Marianne die and popped out with embossing tools. Flourishes Sissix dies form the gold background, along with dyed tulle and Martha Stewart punched greenery. I used a Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder from Sissix for the music background. The edges of the music were distressed with an edge shredder as well as inked with antique linen distress ink. I heat embossed "Merry Christmas" using Ranger Queen's Gold embossing powder.
