Hi everyone!  It’s always a festive Christmas card when you can add in some poinsettias and pine!

I had fun using a bunch of products on this card and of course bringing in brown! lol

I started by cutting the candles in green and inking them with Distress Rustic Wilderness and the flames die cut in white and inked with Distress Mustard Seed.  I added some Copic E07 at the bottom of the ovals to look like fire.

After I pieced the candles together I spritzed them with Sparkle Spray…they are really shimmery in person…the dots aren’t so dotty looking IRL. lol  Left them to dry and worked on the background and poinsettias.

I used the NEW Pinecone and Berried 3D Embossing Folder for the background panel….after I embossed it, I inked it with Gathered Twigs and Walnut Stain Distress ink and ink blending brushes.  I spattered it with a gold spray by Heidi Swap but I don’t see it anywhere anymore.  Any gold ink would work.  I’ll link to the other one I use more.

I die cut the Memory Box Pine Branches die, clipped it apart and used half on each end.

I die cut the Petite Poinsettias die set and made 2 poinsettias to add on each end.

The sentiment is from the poppystamps Christmas Quotes stamp and die set.

I hope I remembered to include the pertinent details…if I didn’t comment or email.

haha!  I forgot to take a picture of the inside again!  I made the cardbase green, then I die cut one of the Rectangles from the NEW Memory Box Fringed Scalloped Frame Set in red cardstock and I stamped ‘Wishing you a Merry Christmas’ from the NEW Be Merry stamp set that I love so much!
