Poinsettia Season's Greetings Card - 52 CCT Sketch Challenge Card

Here is this week's Christmas card for the 52 {Christmas}Card Throwdown challenge.  We had a really great sketch to work with this week, I like the layout so much that I'll probably make a few more cards with it.  I'm thinking that if I rotate it, the layout will work as a Z Fold card - I'll have to put that theory to the test!

I thought my poinsettia stamp would work really well for the square panel so I started off by stamping that in Early Espresso ink - twice onto Cherry Cobbler CS and twice onto Real Red CS.  I cut the layers out and joined them together with a gold glimmer brad.  I rootled through my Christmas patterned paper and decided I wanted to use my flocked holly paper - it's so gorgeous - and I decided my sparkly red glimmer paper would be a great contrast to that.  I found the Season's Greetings stamp fitted perfectly inside the smaller Hero Arts Small Tag Frame die and I've popped that up over the red glimmer strip.  I finished off by adding red metal nailheads to the corners of the vanilla panel.  Metal, shiny glimmer paper and matte velvet flocked paper - I have to say I really like how the different textures look together on this card!

I simply stamped the poinsettia a few times in Cherry Cobbler ink inside the card and on the envelope and added the sentiment to finish off.
