 Morning Crafters. another Christmas card for you today.

Items used:

• 
  Basic 8" x 8" White card base
• White card
• Own Stash - Green Miri card
• Creative Expression Foundation card - Spring Green
• Creative Expression Sam Poole Stamps - Silhouette Poinsettia
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies - Layered Poinsettia

• Habico Self Adhesive  Flat Backed Pearls
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Crushed Olive & Peacock Feathers
• Pinflare Silicone Glue
• Crafters Companion Country Diary of an Edwardian lady CD-Rom - Colourised Backing Paper

First I printed off some backing paper that I had changed colour with the colouriser from  Crafters Companion Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady CD-Rom, I matted and layered this to my base card. I cut some White Card to size and with the smaller flourish from Creative Expression Sam Poole Stamps - Silhouette Poinsettia I stamped in rows diagonally, and in opposite directions, using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Crushed Olive & Peacock Feathers, I ran this through Spellbinders M-Bossibilities Folder - Sea Garden to give it some texture and matted and layered onto the backing paper on my card.

I die cut several flowers from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies - Layered Poinsettia out of Own Stash - Green Miri card and layered them up into three's then added a Habico Self Adhesive  Flat Backed Pearls into the center of each flower.
Onto some White card I stamped the large sentiment poinsettia stamp from the set Creative Expression Sam Poole Stamps - Silhouette Poinsettia using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Crushed Olive, I cut this out and matted it onto some Creative Expression Foundation card - Spring Green then cut around the edge of this leaving just a little edge of Green showing, I placed this onto my card then attached the flowers with Pinflare Silicone Glue around the bottom left side with a couple of flowers in the top right corner opposite the others. I attached four Habico Self Adhesive  Flat Backed Pearls in each of the four corners and there is the finished card.

I like this card, in a way still using traditional Christmas colours but then again not...if you know what I mean?
