So I really love Lord Tim's poinsettia die.......and once the flowers were die cut.......this card was really simple to put together.
Though because the paper is a slightly shiny gold.......I found it really difficult to photograph.
The flower was cut out in a variety of papers and I used distress ink on the book paper.....layered it all up onto gold paper with some twine......and added a brad before layering it onto distressed card.
A few challenges.....Christmas Stampin All Year and Sparkles want 'traditional'......Fussy and Fancy and One Stop Craft want 'anything'......and Totally Papercrafts want 'christmas'

jacky this is gorgeous!! i've not seen this die of tim's but think you have done a fabulous job in creating this card!
Love the newsprint and twine. Gorgeous card.
The paper gives the leaves lots of depth and texture - lovely!
Using text paper for some of the petals is a great idea. This card is very different from the ones you make using stamps and layers.
Beautiful card - I especially like the flower & how you've wrapped the twine.
A brilliant card!
Thank you for sharing at Sparkles Christmas Challenges this time
Good luck in the draw

Oooh! I love the tinted text paper petals.

Love your use of text paper on the poinsettia - I have not used text before but must have a go. Thanks for joining us over at CSAYL xxx
So pretty! I bet that gold paper is gorgeous in real life. It is such a pain to try to photograph metallics. Your flower is beautiful too, the text is a nice touch. Thanks for playing with CSAYL.
This is a really pretty card :)
