I used 2 different patterned sheets..a strip of white card embossed with Sue Wilson's swirling holly folder and a bit of iced spruce distress ink to bring out the emboss...all the edges are dipped in cosmic shimmer diamond sprinkles....I used Sue Wilson's Portuguese collection-background to cut the central panel and the backing is the reverse side of one of the papers with double sided adhesive and diamond sprinkles....my first attempt which I did with micro beads ended up in the bin as I used collall all purpose glue to stick it down and it showed through as great wet marks....how does that happen, I left it over night to see if it dried but no it was worse it went brown....so a bit of deconstruction and start again....lesson to self.....
the poinsettia's are heartfelt creations sparkling poinsettia stamps done with white embossing powder on vellum....I used Sue Wilson's star spray and embellished them with Nuvo drops for the berry's...Neptune it matched so well.....and lastly the sentiment is a tonic one....
hope you are having a fun day whatever you are doing......

An absolutely beautiful card Margaret. Love those gorgeous muted papers from Phil Martin and all the Sue Wilson dies you've used. What a shame about the Collall glue - very weird!
Hugs.

Hello Margaret,
What a fabulous card today. So very soothing and delicate. I love the poinsettia that you have done from the vellum. I do look forward to seeing your site each day as you have some very clever and creative ideas.
