For my card I decided to use some of the colours and textures from the Pinterest board to create a festive and fun holiday card. I love the aquas in the photos and really wanted to add a metallic look to my card to resemble some of the textures in the photos.
I used the Mondo Poinsettia stamps to create a cluster of flowers on my card front by stamping them with Versamark ink and then heat embossing them with Liquid Platinum embossing powder from Ranger. I then stamped some small bursts and holly leaves with Gold embossing powder.
Once all the embossing was done, I painted inside all of the flower petals with Topaz Izink Pigment ink to create aqua poinsettias. I'm pretty sure there is no such thing, but I think they look kinda pretty lol!
I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly stamp set with Versafine Black Onyz ink and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I trimmed the stamped panel down and adhered it to a black card base and added a strip of gold glitter paper.
To complete the card, I covered all of the flower petals with Glossy Accents for some added dimension and shine.

Absolutely gorgeous Stephanie. I love the way you created your background and the glossy accents is a perfect finish!
