Poinsettia

I thought I'd take part in the Christmas Countdown on the papertrey Ink forums - trying to spread the making of Christmas cards and gifts throughout the year, rather than leaving it all to November!

I've finally made my first card using the Year of Flowers: Poinsettias set:

Photobucket

  1. This is just lovely, Anne. This is on my wish list for next fall/Christmas, but now I may have to bump that one up!! Great idea to start earlier. the glimmer mist and tea dye really give a vintage feel to the pointsettia image.

  5. Again, my reader shows me a post that doesn't seem available on your blog. But I wanted to comment on how beautiful that double bow is ad how elegant this purple card looks - love it! Hope you're doing fine in your neck of the woods :) Best wishes from sunny Heidelberg!
