Pot of Pretty Poinsettias Pocket Card

Hello All!

I am killing 2 birds with one stone today.

I am the November Guest DT over @ The Paper Temptress and wanted to use their gorgeous Laser Gold Glossy Lustre paper. I also am a past DT of "Fred She Said" and was given these beautiful poinsettias from their RED Christmas Poinsettia Pack, but have not had a chance to use them. While strolling through Splitcoast Stampers last night, I came across some pretty flowerpot cards that had been made for a technique challenge. The light bulb lit up! The challenge was posted back in April but I did my own thing to fit today's season...and to be able to use the poinsettias.

There is a great tutorial on Stephanie Luman's blog on how to create these little cuties.

It is a fast and simple shaped card but I think they really stand out from the crowd of squares and rectangles!

The flowers pull out to reveal the sentiment and a spot to write your own little note. You could also slide a gift card into the pocket!

I added some heat embossing in gold for the sentiment and the dots in the flower centers. Remember, You can click on the pictures for a closer look!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
