I started this card by covering the front of a white, cardstock, card face with a piece of green, script, patterned paper and topping it with paper layers, die-cut from a woodgrain, patterned paper, as well as Ballet Slippers and Pistachio Pudding cardstocks, using Birch Press' fabulous Circa Layer Set.
I then created that gorgeous Holiday Poinsettia by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper in the shades used to piece it together; splattering it with the same colors, as well as Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints; and, of course, die-cutting and piecing it together, separating the layers with foam tape.
The "LET HEAVEN AND NATURE SING" sentiment was white-embossed on a strip of Black cardstock; tucked under the bottom right edge of the poinsettia itself; and popped off the surface of the card face with foam tape.
A double, white, seam binding ribbon bow, embellished with a Baker's Twine bow, as well as a lone pearl, completes the look.

The poinsettias are great and the background die is so interesting. I'm wondering is you could make a slider with a msg on it that you could read through the little holes in it. When I looked at your card I just thought of that. Very inspiring card. Thank you!
