Hello there my crafty friends! If you haven't started making your Christmas cards, maybe this one will entice you to start! I selected a coconut white background and used a gold paint pen to splatter the ink across it. Next I made two of the Triple Layer Poinsettias using three shades of red (from my stash). I assembled them then added a small gold centre piece. I cut leaves out of Khaki card and seated the flowers in the lower corner of the background. I tucked the leaves around them, then added in some Evergreen Branches and Twin Holly Sprays both cut in antique gold card. I used the Merry & Bright sentiment cut in gold and added to a white shadow backing. I added three small 5mm white pearls in the corner and completed the card with red, gold and white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. What a stunning card to have on show over the festive season. Change the sentiment and you have a card for almost any occasion, gold or silver flowers and you have a card for a 25th or 50th wedding anniversary, that's the choice you allow us to make with your inspiration. Hope you have a nice day to start this cold and wet week xxx

Good Morning Sue and all
Stunning card this morning and I do love your Christmas cards with poinsettias . The triple layer gives such a amazing detail and I have to agree with Steph you could change the colour for all year round. The splash of gold really brings the design to give and works so well with the sentiment.
Crafty hugs to all , Wendy
Hi Sue
