This is a QCAS (as Darnell would say ... Quick, Clean, and Simple).
I had die-cut this lovely poinsettia image (borrowed from my good friend Nancy) just over 1 year ago and finally got around to using it today. :) I simply stamped the sentiment and heat embossed in copper, and then placed a piece of copper glitter paper behind the poinsettia aperture. It doesn't get any easier than that ... and it's such a pretty and elegant card too. :)
Here's a close-up ...
