Holiday Card Series 2016 - Glittery Poinsettias

Hello there!

Here are two very glittery cards, because as I always say: glitter is life, made on the same base but using two different color schemes: gold & red and silver & white.

Here is how I proceeded for each card.

I first started by cutting a circle in a square base that I embossed using a snowflake embossing folder and my Big Shot.

I cut another square to put behing the embossed one and heat embossed my sentiment in the middle.

Again, with the help of my Big Shot I dit cut poinsettias from glitter paper and pine cones from mirror cardstock. For the branches, I used white cardstock for one card, and green distress ink for the other.

Then I build my poinsettias using glue dots, and started to assemble mycard. I attached the embossed cardstock to the base using fun foam to add some dimension. And glued everything (poinsettias, branches, pine cones and thread) in place around the sentiment using a bunch of glue dots. And to finish the cards I glued some sequins to add a little more sparkle!
