This took me a lot longer than I expected. My dsp is too bright, so I added vellum. I rarely use vellum and had a hard time attaching it so the tape wouldn't be seen.
Mary Fran's card is so gorgeous. I hope I did the case justice.
* Same theme, similar images, only used one sentiment
* My petals aren't shaped to give it dimension (I don't know how.) so I popped it up on dimensionals.
* Close to the same layout
* I used rhinestones instead of buttons
* I added Wink of Stella on the petals

pretty Christmas design the vellum is a perfect cover to your background, next time cut it a bit larger and glued it on the backside from your paper then you can't see the adhesive, or another tip cut your red strips a bit longer and let them overlap to glue on the back, they would keep your vellum in place too, any way I didn't notice the adhesive and I love your pretty poinsettia

I just love the softness the vellum adds here Jen and the shaping one way to do it is to run a stylus tool on the back side where the veins are and it will give the leaves and petals a crease. (gently) can wrap the cardstock around your finger too.

I almost picked this card too! Yes, yours does justice! It's beautiful. I love that you toned down the dsp with the vellum. The poinsettia is gorgeous.
