Instructions: 

Ready card measures 7”diameter
Take a smooth white cardstock and cut 2 pc of ornaments. Tie both pieces using white cord. For mating choose a designer paper from Merry & Bright paper collection and cut a circle measures 6.75” diameter.  Distress the edges of the pattern paper using a pair of scissors. Layer it on the ready card base using dimensional tape for added dimensions.
Apply clear gesso on the pattern paper and leave it to dry. Apply white texture paste using stencil. Also glue some cheese cloth using soft matt gel.  Mist the color for more effect.  Once I am satisfied with the color effect, I add some glitter using soft matt gel.

Stamp poinsettia flower using versamark and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. Stamp some pine leaves using versamark and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.  Cut the flowers and leaves with coordinating die and color the flowers using aquamarine archival. Shape the flowers using deluxe flower shaping kit.

Glue dry branches chipboard on the right side of the card using hot melted glue. Arrange the flowers and leaves on the card using hot melted glue as shown in the picture.  Cut a decorative die cut using Noel Ornament Die . Stam a sentiment using Noel Sentiments stamp using versamark and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. Add the sentiment on the left side of the card using dimensional tape as shown in the picture.

Apply gesso on the flowers and leaves using dry brush technique. For the finished look apply frosted sugar and sparkling dust on the flowers.
