Fun Foam Christmas Flower

Today's card features a flower and leaves made using fun foam.  The elements were stamped on and cut from fun foam using Heartfelt Creations dies (Sparkling Poinsettia).  Then I held them down with a embossing tool & applied heat using a heat gun.  This caused them to shrink & curl so they have quite a bit of shape to them.  I then coated them with glue & glitter. You can see more of the shape from the side view photo below:

I used an embossing folder (Mbossabilities - Framed Petite Labels from Spellbinders) on a cream colored paper for my background & matted it with a sliver of red.  The sentiment was stamped using a HOTP small stamp set called Mittens.  A ribbon from my stash and yellow beads on thin beading wire (for flower centers) finished off the card front.

Inside I have a scrap of red that was embossed with the same folder & another fun foam flower & leaf.
