Check out some new products at Papertrey Ink! I wanted to create another card using some of my favorite release elements (I didn't have room for the adorable chubby feathered friends but they are faves as well!). I started by using the frame dies from the Farm Fresh Trees set and stamped the Weathered Wood Background in kraft ink over cream card stock. The outline of the frame was cut from Pinefeather paper (which tends to look black here). The gorgeous poinsettia dies are the focal point here and tend to steal the show. I cut it all from Vintage Cream CS then color blended with Sweet Blush ink and Ocean Tides and Mint Julep inks on the large leaves. I dabbed some Ice Stickles using my finger on the edges. The Sprigs & Sprays set is a big favorite because it's so versatile to add to any winter/Christmas arrangement. It's also very easy to stamp! I struggled with adding a sentiment but finally went with a vellum banner that was gold embossed with a sentiment from an older set called Winter Woodlands - a set released last winter. The bling at the center of the poinsettia are tiny holographic sticker dots.

You are right; the poinsettia really does steal the show but I love the supporting foliage as well. Your hints of sparkle work well with the gold embossed sentiment. What a super card!
