Pink Poinsettias

This is my second Christmas card using the Cricut Cartridge, Joys of the Season. I remember when this cartridge was brand new, and I barely used it. For this year's round of holiday cards, I've challenged myself to use Joys of the Season more often.

The poinsettias here were cut at 2.5, and I took Copic glitter markers to line and detail the leaves. The raspberry layer is glitter paper from DCWV so is the classic glitter patterned paper from the Linen Closet mat stack.

I don't know how I ever lived without my Cricut Craft Room. I was able to size the banner perfectly to fit the card in just seconds. I tried different colors for the banner, and decided on the yellowish gold to pick up the center of the poinsettias.
