Christmas Card Club Challenge # 5 Poinsettia

Good morning friends, crafters and fellow bloggers.  Hope you are all well.    Happy St David's Day to any Welsh crafters looking in.   Hard to believe it is March already!!  It's time again for another card for the Christmas Card Club.  This time Margaret asked us to use poinsettias on our card, but we could use any colour we chose.  I never used to make traditional red or green cards, preferring more contemporary colours but this last year or so I am really loving using red - so here it is again!

My Card

Recipe

The Range - white card 

Rymans - red card

Spellbinders - Parisian Accents

  SB - A2 Bracket Borders 1

Creative Expressions - Snowflake Lattice embossing folder

Wild Orchid Crafts - Poinsettias

Cheery Lyn - Wreath Strip

Dreamees - Sentiment stamp

Ribbon and pearls - stash

My card is 5 x 7" made from 300 gsm card.  It was layered with red and white card. The top layer was run through the embossing folder after die cutting it, as was the red layer. Pearls were added to the flowers and tiny pearls to the centres of the flowers on the red embossed layer. I cut two of the Parisian Accents to give a shadow effect.
