Traditional Christmas Colors

 Time to be starting on those Christmas cards if you haven't yet. Allsorts
Challenge for two weeks is traditional Christmas colors to get you
going, also ATG's is always an option. 
 
 My card:
 

I started with a Sizziz poinsettia embossing folder, I swiped the
poinsettia's with a white pigment ink and then embossed with
a Stampendous PearLuster embossing powder. I then die
cut a Momenta Merry Christmas die set out and layered it, adding
a few gems to the poinsettia center.  This was a set I got
years ago on clearance at Hobby Lobby, nice to finally use it!

Lovely bold embossed background to showcase the die cut wreath.

The pearly shimmer on the embossed poinsettias is absolutely enchanting—such a clever use of white pigment ink to highlight their texture. I love how the layered sentiment adds depth without overpowering the design, and those tiny gems in the flower centers are the perfect festive touch. It’s always satisfying to give a long-stashed die set its moment to shine, and this one was worth the wait!

The EF is so pretty in red and your wreath is the perfect focal point to go on it.
