To start I cut a square of white card 1/2 cm smaller than the card blank and coloured the edges with the colour cloud. 

Next, using the double pierced dies I cut a square slightly smaller than the previous one.

Another layer was cut 1/2 cm smaller than the pierced one and again edged with the colour cloud.

Yet another layer was then cut ( this is getting a bit repetitive isn't it) and embossed with the embossing folder.

All the layers were then added to the card, but a strip of ribbon was put across the embossed layer first and fastened at the back before sticking this layer to the card.

Next I stamped  the poinsettia medallion stamp and 2 of the middle size poinsettia stamps onto white card with some perfect medium and heat embossed them with the embossing powder. I then carefully place the dies around the images and cut them out.

The frame was stuck to the card with foam pads. The oval frame was also cut out and stamped and embossed with the sentiment, which was added to the middle of the frame and edged with some star dust stickles

A large triple bow was added to the bottom side of the card and the poinsettia flowers were shaped and stuck on top of each other, on top of the bow with a dazzler in the middle.

A tiny poinsettia flower was added to the frame and finished off with a small gem.

Happy Crafting
