Poinsettia Split Front Card

I signed up for a Christmas card swap in the FaceBook Altenew Fan Group, and I'm sending cards to New Zealand, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, and several different states in the US. I spent an evening cutting out poinsettia layers from various cardstocks and embossing panels and then went to work assembling several cards. This one uses a top-folding white A2 card base I created using heavyweight white cardstock. 

For the base of this card, I followed a tutorial by Diane Furniss here: (2) #274 (24) Split Front Card Using Stampin' Up! Products. - YouTube. My card is slightly different from hers in that the glued down portion is on the right side instead of the left side. 

To decorate the card base, I added a green panel I had colored with alcohol inks to the right side of the card where the flap was glued down to the base. For the larger section on the left of the card, I embossed a panel of white cardstock I had sprayed with Distress mica stain in Tart Cranberry. I added some gold maker to the centers of the poinsettias for more shine. 

The poinsettia die cut was die cut using Altenew's 3D Poinsettia layering dies. Then I stamped the "rejoice" sentiment using Altenew's Blessings stamp set and mounted it on a scrap of gold cardstock. 

For the inside of the card, I stamped "Wishing you the joy of holiday miracles" from the same Blessings stamp set and mounted it on another scrap of gold cardstock. I added a small poinsettia I made using the smallest size leaf die from the 3D Poinsettia layering die set. I die cut several pieces of cardstock using that die and then adhered them together and added the center with gold cardstock I had die cut.
