For the focal point of my card, I silver-embossed the gorgeous poinsettia, from Joyful Christmas, on vellum. Using a sponge dauber, I added Strawberry Slush ink to the back of the stamped design, and let it dry. (Okay, I hurried along the process with my heat gun - patience may be a virtue, but it's not one of my strong points when I have a design in mind!) I repeated the process with a second flower, and cut out the top leaves/petals, then curled them a little with my bone folder and attached them to the complete poinsettia, with a glimmer brad.
My card base is Shimmery White cardstock, and the sentiment is embossed with a mixture of silver Stampin' Emboss powder and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. How lush is the new silver satin ribbon?!
