Tattered Poinsettia Christmas Card

Created this Christmas Card using Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die. Used scraps & layers.

Used TH Textured Poinsettia Pattern Set embossing folder.

Cut the Poinsettia twice: once using cereal cardboard for sturdiness and second using scraps of Christmas Sheet Music scrapbook paper for layer.

Used TH Distress Inks: FiredBrick on the Poinsettia petals and PineNeedles on the Poinsettia green leaves.

Used Stamp N Plus chalks: Ritzy chalk on the Poinsettia red petals and Gold Nugget on the Poinsettia center. 

Used foam adhesive between the Poinsettia layers to pop it up.

Stamped sentiment from TH Holiday Wishes stamp set on Kraft cardstock. First time using the Holiday Wishes stamp set. Hand cut sentiment tag. Used TH Distress Ink walnut stain on sentiment tag edge. Used foam adhesive to pop up the sentiment tag.
 
Added gold glitter on the Poinsettia center. Added scrap piece of ribbon left on spool which was just the right amount needed.
