Instructions: Card size is 7" x 5". Cut a 6.75" x 4.75" piece of green script paper from the pad and adhere to the card base.
Cut a 6"x 4" piece of white stamping card. Tap some distress oxide ink onto a glass mat and spritz with water, pick up the ink from the glass mat onto the stamping card and sprinkle over pixie powder while the card is still wet, spritz again to spread the pixie powder and allow the card to dry.
Die cut the starry night strip die and use this as a stencil to create a border on both sides of the coloured card, using the festive berries ink and a dauber. Stamp the bauble cluster 4 times at different lengths onto the card using soft suede ink. Stamp the sentiment using versafine ink and cover in clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Layer the coloured card onto a slightly larger piece of white card and adhere to the card base using foam pads.
Stamp 3 of the bauble clusters onto white card using the early espresso ink, cover with clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Die cut and shape using the flower shaping tools, position onto the card using wet glue, removing the top of the shortest cluster.
Make the poinsettias: Stamp in Cherry Cobbler ink onto delux flowers shaping paper. Colour the flowers in Magenta Hue archival ink and die cut. Edge the petals with Cherry Cobbler ink so that the petals are shaded. Place face down into the shaping mold and spritz with water. Place the top on the mold and run through the die cutting machine and remove the shaped flowers. Place glue in the centre of the medium and large petals and layer together, place the smallest set of petals on top and allow to dry. Place a dot of dandelion yellow crystal drops in the centre of each flower and cover in Go ManGo prills, remove the excess prills and set aside to dry.
Make the leaves: Stamp the largest flower petals x 3 using Mossy Meadow ink and colour using the Granny Apply Green. Diecut and edge the leaves with Mossy Meadow. Place face down into the mold and spritz with water, place the top on the mold and run through the diecutting machine. Remove the leaves from the mold and allow to dry.
Position the leaves and poinsettias to the card using hot glue.
