I used Celebrate with Flourish for the poinsettia image, but then built on it using petals from Wrap It Up. I inked each petal using Stampin' Up ink as well as some gold Stampology ink - and added tiny gold brads to the centre of each flower. The card base and frame are both from Elegant Edges. (The card base was created by welding two images together and by removing the half circles on either side of the card in order for the border to fit across.) The Cherry Cobbler border was punched with a Stampin' Up border punch. I stamped my card with a sentiment from My Craft Spot's Merry Christmas set and also used some My Craft Spot pine green seam binding. I inked the card base with both Cherry Cobbler and gold-coloured inks. I finished things off with a couple of wine-coloured pearls.
With Christmas - and other celebrations - just around the corner, please head over to Fantabulous Cricut to link up your own holiday card!
