Instructions: My card base is 6" x 6" white cardstock. Stamp using Storm (grey) ink and cut out the Festive Gate. Using the Tombow blender pen, I picked up a little bit of brown and grey ink and filled in the sides of the gate to add a little dimension. Adhere the gate to the front of the white 6" x 6" card base.
Cut out 3 large and 1 small Sparkling Poinsettia. Colour one of the large flowers using the green inks and daubers. Colour the other 3 flowers using light pink in the middles, and teal and purple on the outer edges of the petals. Shape and assemble your flowers using hot glue and 3D foam tape. Add Stickles to the flowers. Set aside.
Cut a piece of the light pink patterned paper that is 6" x 6" and adhere to the front of the card. Cut a piece of the purple polka dot patterned paper that is 5.5" x 5.5" and adhere to the card front. Cut a piece of the light pink patterned paper that is 4.75" x 4.75", adhere to the card front. Cut 2, 1" squares from the dark teal patterned paper, cut them in half diagonally to create photo corners and adhere to the corner of the light pink patterned paper. Cut a piece of dark teal patterned paper that is 2" x 6" and mat it in white cardstock (2.25" x 6"). Add the poinsettia border strips to each edge of the matted border and adhere to your card.
Cut a strip of the light teal patterned paper that is 0.75" x 6", and flag one end. Adhere down the middle of the front of the card. Cut a 1.5" dark purple patterned circle and adhere to the top of that strip. Add your chosen sentiment ticket. I chose “Happy Holidays”. Cut out the circular portion of one of the journal blocks and adhere to the middle of the card using 3D foam tape. Cut a white cardstock circle that is 2.75" and adhere to the middle of the card using 3D foam tape. Add your poinsettia using hot glue.
