Instructions

Start by stamping the Stamp-n-Foil Images onto the Stamp-n-Foil Papers. Use several Gina K Design Inks to create a multi-colored poinsettia: Peach Bellini, Tomato Soup and Red Hot for the Flower, and Jelly Bean Green and Asparagus for the leaves.
Used Deco Foil in Black to foil the poinsettias. Next, take the coordinating dies to die cut them out. Create 3 for the project.
In order to make the background one layer, stamp the pine branch image using a couple Gina K Designs inks in Jelly Bean Green and Asparagus and some Lucky Clover Distress Ink. Add some double stamping just to create a little more dimension. Then ink the background with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, just to make the pine branches and poinsettias POP off the card front.
Stamp and emboss the sentiment and then add some Black Soot and Picket Fence paint splatters. After the paint splatters are dry, add some water droplets to add texture and depth to the pine branches.
Stamped the poinsettia centers using some Gina K Designs Sweet Corn Ink and then add some Tonic Studios Glitter Pen to the poinsettia leaves and some Nuvo Drops over the dots to add some dimension. Then adhere some of the iCraft 3-D Foam Squares to the back of the poinsettias and adhere them to the card.
For even more sparkle, adhere some cream snowflake sequins from your stash. Add some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to the center of the snowflake sequins too, just to tie it all together. Use the new Gina K Designs Permanent Adhesive Dot Runner to adhere the card panel to the Gina K Designs premium cardstock in Luxury White A2 cardbase.

I use so many different products it's hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to pick it would be the basics, cardstock, inks, die-cuts, stamps, and so much more,
