I wanted to try some embossing paste again, so first I stamped the poinsettia on the main panel so I knew where to stamp the leaves (masking a bit also). Then I laid a stencil over my top panel and spread the paste across portions of the stencil and let dry. I stamped and embossed the flower on another piece of cs, colored w/ copics, and fussy cut that. Matted my main panel with gold foil cs, then popped up the flower with dimensionals - it looks so cool with that added dimension but is hard to see in the photo. Embossed the sentiment in gold and popped up that also. Added gold stickles to the center of the flower. Love how this turned out! Linking to CC503 (our colors this week),

This is absolutely gorgeous -- I love that deep red poinsettia against that brightly embossed white bg -- gold sentiment - just classic and beautiful!

This card is totally amazing! Thank you for describing how you achieved the effect with all the flower layers and the embossing paste (my favorite new toy!). Wonderful!
