"Winter Fun" Whimsical Designs Challenge

Good morning Whimsical Crafters! It is challenge day, and today we are creating any card/project that is Christmas/Winter themed and must include something sparkly on it. This can be done by using a pre-made sparkly embellishment, or by adding something (glimmer mist, stickles, bling) to your project to make it sparkle. I have been wanting to make a poinsettia for a while, and I thought this would be a great time:

I have to start off my saying that at this moment my cat is not my favorite furry friend. When I was putting the little pearl in the center with my pearl pen she banged my arm and made me smear my little pearl! URGH..anyone wants a cat I will ship her to you..lol:) This poinsettia comes from SVG cuts.com and is cut with my Silhouette. I added Diamond Dust to the leaves to give it some sparkle, and a sort of icy/snowy looks. I already told you what is in the center. To add some more sparkle I added some Say It With Pearls by Prima. The edge punch is Friskars- Holly. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from my Snow Much Fun set. It is available for purchase here at my shop. I am a little dissapointed in the way this photographed. It is one of those cards that is really pretty in person. A different angle:
