Tis The Season To Sparkle

Hello crafters!  I used the sweet Christmas Lights 3D embossing folder for the background.  Next I used a piece of pretty striped paper from my stash and cut it on the diagonal, then glued it to the bottom part of the embossed background.  I used the Poinsettia Stampcuts die and inked it with Black Archival ink then ran it through the machine to stamp and cut it out.  I did this three times.  I coloured each of the poinsettias with Distress markers (Festive Berries, Crushed Olive and Mustard Seed).  Once coloued, I used a clear Perfect Medium pad to ink the entire flower and then coated them with clear detail embossing powder and heated them to melt it.  I did each one of the flowers this way and repeated the process three times to build up the clear glossy layer on top.  (You could use ultra thick embossing crystals to achieve the same look, I just didn't have any on hand)  I attached the flowers across the diagonal of the decorative paper, then cut green leaves from the Pine and Holly Spray die set to add as accents.  I cut the Tis The Season To Sparkle die in red twice.  I glued them together then glued it in the upper part of the card.  I completed the card with white and Ruby Red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x
