For this pretty card you need:
Crumb Cake card stock (#120953)
Chocolate Chip card stock (#102128)
Chocolate Chip ink (#126979)
Real Red ink (#126949)
Versa Mark pad (#102283)
White embossing powder (#109132)
Embossing Buddy (#103083)
Joyful Christmas stamp set (#131805)
Circles Collection Framelits (#130911)
Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658)
Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)
Heat Tool (#129053)
Stampin' Sponges (#101610)
Pearl Jewels (#119247)
Stampin' Dimensional adhesive (#104430)
Start by eye-balling where you will place the sentiment on the card. Using the Big Shot, the Magnetic Platform and Circle Framelits cut a circle to provide a frame in the Chocolate Chip card stock (using just a 1/4 of a sheet to provide the 'frame).
Prep the Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake card stock with the Embossing Buddy. (This gives a clean surface for better embossing!) Use this to make a guide on where to stamp the Poinsettia on the Crumb Cake card stock with the Versa Mark pad. Cover the surface with the White Embossing Powder and Heat Set with the Heat Tool!
Now there are TWO Options... here I used the Real Red ink to create a warm and vibrant look to this card. Simply rub the ink on with our Stampin' Sponges and the embossed flower will POP! Add Red Permanent Marker to the top of our pearls for a luminescent red.
Change it up with this Chocolate Chip ink rubbed across the embossed flower. It gives it a vintage and grunge look. Very cool and antique looking.
Here the uncolored pearls fit in line with this card. So whether you are a color or vintage lover - this card can accomplish both!
Layer the Embossed Window over the Crumb Cake base with the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive and you have a quick card that with layers creates a cool effect.
