I colored the image with Copics and added a highlight of Sakura Gelly Roll Pen. The center of the Poinsettia I used clear glass microbeads with Copic YR24 that I colored on the side of the glass bowl to stain them. For cardstock, I started out with a white background, and it was too stark, so I painted a thin layer of Carmel Creative Inspirations paint on the layer behind the Poinsettia- Oohhh the shimmer. I used silver metallic thread in my sewing machine for the 'ornament hanger' and to outline the card. The greenery is a Cheery Lynn Die called Pine Branches Die.The Christmas Patterned Paper is by Bo Bunny.

Shelly, your card is beautiful. I love the ornament and love the design. Beautiful job on this creation.
Oh, this is so elegant, Shelly! Great idea to use the Creative Inspirations paint. I know how it shimmers but it's so hard to photograph. Love that Jingle Bells dp. I have some of that and couldn't remember that it was Bo Bunny! :-D
Gorgeous card Shelly! Love that festive look.
