Make it Monday #144-Heat Embossing on Vellum (Number 2)

I thought I was finished making Christmas cards, but thought of one more couple that I'd like to make a card for, so I used this week's inspiration from Papertrey Ink. For this card, I heat embossed the text background with gold embossing powder onto the vellum, then mounted that panel onto my cream card base. I used gold powder on the poinsettias, as well as on the sentiment. The flower centers have Stardust Stickles on them, which are really sparkly, in real life. I used a dark red Copic to give some dimension to the flower petals, and some Distress Ink to shade the flowers.
Thanks for looking!
