Christmas Cards all year Round

Welcome to a new month at Christmas Cards all Year Round where we continue to live the holidays all year long. We have a nice and easy challenge for you this time and that is show us your poinsettias. 
The card I made for this challenge is my favorite card ever. It turned out so beautiful. The flower was created using Dreamweaver Stencils white embossing paste and one of their brass stencils. Once the flower was dry I applied a silver Wink of Stella pen to the shaded areas. It's so sparkly and pretty. The patterned paper and glitter paper are both by DCWV, die cut by Spellbinders And the sticker is by Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for looking.
