"Merry Christmas"
Poinsettia Holly Snowflake Festive Garland
 Card by Leigh
 
I've got a wonderful Christmas card to inspire you today featuring the Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp from my new Poinsettia and Holly Christmas Collection.
 
 
The Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp combines traditional poinsettia and holly imagery with contemporary snowflakes that will make your Christmas cards look both elegant and whimsical!  I had such fun making today's card inspiration!
 
I coloured the Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp in Adobe Fresco and printed out the finished artwork for my card.  I then cut mat layers from white cardstock and Crafter's Companion patterned matte and glossy mirror card and adhered everything to a top fold card base I made from heavy weight white cardstock.
 
 
I used a large Crafter's Companion "Merry Christmas" metal die to cut the sentiment out of the same patterned matte and glossy mirror card with double sided adhesive applied to the back.  The metallic gold adds such rich elegance to my festive Christmas card and to also give it a touch of pretty sparkle I applied Crystal Stickles glitter to the poinsettia flower and snowflake centers too.
