Sparkly Embossed Poinsettia Card

Happy 2014 everyone!  I've still got a couple of Christmas cards to share, I meant to post them earlier but time got away from me again!  I'm not quite sure where the last few weeks have gone - they absolutely zoomed by!  Anyway, this card is the one I made for Alan to give to his wife Jan.  I based it on this card I made earlier but I made some small changes.

I made the 5 3/4" square card base from Bermuda Bay CS and used Coastal Cabana CS for the mat layer.  The snowflake dry embossed panel was made using white Centura Pearl CS - it's lovely and embosses beautifully!  I heat embossed the poinsettia and sentiment with aqua tinsel embossing powder.  I fussy cut four layers of the poinsettia and I popped each layer up.  I added a gorgeous sparkly embellishment to the flower centre and added a rhinestone to the Bermuda Bay ribbon bow.   

Here's the inside of the card where I've used a lovely Ivy Corner Joanna Sheen Signature die.  I cut the whole shape from Bermuda Bay CS for the bottom right corner.  I then cut two of the centre portions from Coastal Cabana CS and after a bit of snipping I used these pieces to frame the sentiment. 

I made an envelope using some pretty Winter Frost papers and I popped up a die cut name label to finish.  I am happy to say both Alan and Jan loved the card!
