I got this wrapping paper at Mike's after-Christmas-clearance sale in 2013! It is not quite as thin as regular wrapping paper but not as thick as DP. They sold it by the roll so...I have some in every colour and pattern..as you do! The card base is a Sizzix framelits 'step-up' die and the greeting is an old one from Cheery Lynn. I used a combination of flower petals from Susan's Garden and leaf punches in various sizes to create the Poinsettia and scored the petals to make them look sort of real. This was a fun challenge to-day and I am so glad I had some time to play...it's been a long..long time since I uploaded anything.

Oh, wow! This is gorgeous. Love the paper and that lovely poinsettia. It's just a super duper step card. Glad to see you uploading after that dry spell.

Lovely card design with the step format. Your Christmas plaid, gorgeous layered poinsettia and metallic gold accents really make for a beautiful Christmas card, Sue.

It is lovely to see you here Sue. I was wandering through My Favs gallery last week and and was reminded of your gorgeous cards. This one is terrific and I love the tartan paper!!
