Color Dare #121 - Cranberry and New England Ivy

Welcome to the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge. Each week we post a color dare to get your creativity started. This week the colors are Cranberry and New England Ivy. Neutral colors are also ok.

Here you'll see a card I recreated from a year ago. I made some changes and really like the new and improved version! The patterned paper is from the Yuletide paper pack. I used the light side on the card. The darker side surrounding the card is the flip side!

For the poinsettia I used Cranberry cardstock to cut two each of three sizes (31/2", 21/2", 1-1/2") of the 5 point flower on page 80 of the Cricut Artiste booklet. I also cut one 31/2" flower in New England Ivy for the leaves. Then I ran dry embossed the petals with the Damask folder, inked the edges of the petals then rolled then over a pencil. Using Glue Dots, I layered the petals, offsetting each one from the one below. Glue the poinsettia to the card front and add some Bitty Sparkles to the center. To finish it off. I stamped some holly and a message at the bottom.
