And, I am also a fan of poinsettias so I was in the mood to have that grace this lovely background die which is cut in Christmas Pine card stock and graces the white card base. I also added some white pine branches and pearls to the flower. Actually, technically the poinsettia is really a cluster of leaves and not a flower but I still think of it as a cool blossom.
I also combined three of the designs of Allison's Ribbons die and created one layered one to go across the bottom. I am loving that new die set too!
I cut a white oval to go over the oval in the center of the background where I wanted to put my sentiment. I was then ready to add the sentiment which is from Sparkle N Sprinkle. That sentiment is small enough to fit in a close space so I have used it a lot on my Christmas cards.
Below is another view of the card. I am hoping from one of the photos you will see all the details I added.

Somebody is going to be lucky to get this gorgeous card for Christmas! Very pretty poinsettia!
A cheery Christmas card for Cheery Lynn! I love the traditional colors too. Great detail with the flower. I think I need a pointsettia stamp.
I love the traditional too, I feel like I can't send non-traditional to my older family and friends, they wouldn't 'get it'. Your card is gorgeous, beautiful background die and fabulous poinsettia, so pretty!
A striking design and a beautiful card. Thanks for joining in the challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs and good luck.
