This card was inspired by this year's blog banner for the Jingle Belles blog ( which is kind of an annual tradition for the Jingle Belles..) I was inspired by the bright poinsettias and the sparkly gold elements.
The poinsettia image was gold embossed on watercolor paper, then watercolored. After the paint dried, a little dark green paint was splattered over the panel, which was then outlined in gold Stickles. The sentiment is gold embossed and outlined in Stickles. A gold cord was wrapped around the base card. ( I debated using some of those sparkly dots you see in the photo background, but decided against it. Do you think I should?)
This card is entered in these challenges.
