Today's featured set Poinsettia Blooms by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company has an old Victorian feel to it thanks to the lantern and makes gorgeous cards or altered items. 
 
My card today uses a Spellbinders book die along with the lantern, die cut felt, punched pine branches and an elegant red/black color scheme.  After I had stamped my images in memento black and colored with prismacolor markers then cut out, I took the die cut felt sticker border and layered across the black card stock before popping up the saying from Poinsettia Blooms.  I then added my cut out lantern and poinsettia bunch via pop up glue dots and added the punched pine branches with small floral centers.  The only other embellishment added was bling and yellow ice stickles.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
