I used gold and silver metallic threads from Sulky to do the handstitching on the top panel. I stamped the Poinsettias with VersaMark and heat embossed them with silver embossing powder. I die cut the Poinsettias and layered them. The card is an easel card so I included directions on how to set it up. Each card took 4-5 hours to make and I made 40 done this year. I did another 50+ cards for friends not on th Limited Edition list.

Thanks for the nice comments and for taking a peek at my cards. I do a lot of the sewing when we go to Aruba in the fall. I stitch while we are at the pool unless I'm reading, eating, or sleeping. I have taught several ladies there how to do the paper embroidery. It is relaxing for me.
