Happy Christmas

   Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting the Poinsettia Cover Plate die out of a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white card to colour the image with alcohol ink markers.  I cut the die again in white and used the fall away pieces of the background and paper pieced them into place.  I covered the entire piece with a sticky adhesive sheet, then added the black die cut on top.  I sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz over the entire piece, then trimmed the excess away from around the die. I cut the Happy Christmas sentiment from the Festive Wordie sheets and added it with mounting foam to the bottom corner of the card.   I matted it with white and black pieces cut from the Double Stitched Rectangles.  I added one more mat of red card for balance.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.
