Newton's Nook Designs Season's Greetings

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a very glittery card I made for Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #132 - Sketch Challenge.  I just purchased the Poinsettia Blooms stamp set, and even though Christmas is still a few months away, I wanted to try it out for this card!

I knew exactly what I wanted this card to look like so I started by die cutting all of the pieces I was going to use.  I first trimmed down a piece of gold glitter card stock to an A2 size card.  Then I used the scalloped frame from NND Frames and Flags die set to die cut red glitter card stock. Next, I die cut a piece of white card stock using the stitched rectangle die also from the NND Frames and Flags die set, and finally I cut out two banners using a die from the same die set.  I die cut one banner out of the gold glitter card stock I used as my card base, and one out of the red glitter card stock. 

Next, I stamped one of the beautiful poinsettia images from NND Poinsettia Blooms stamp set in gray ink, and colored it with Copic markers.  I left the stamp in place in my stamp positioning tool because after I was finished with my coloring, I re-stamped the image with embossing ink and gold heat embossed the image.  I then cut it out with the coordinating die.  

After gold heat embossing the sentiment, I used liquid glue to adhere the card layers together.  I used liquid glue to attach the gold glitter banner, and thin foam squares to attach the red glitter banner.  I then used foam tape to pop up the poinsettia image for some dimension!

Copic colors used:

• R05, R24, R46, R39
• YG03, YG17, YG67
• G21, G24, G94, G99
• Y13, Y15

Since this card is so glittery already, all I did to finish it off was add a few pieces of gold confetti.  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my sparkly Christmas card today!
