I’ve hardly made any cards for Christmas this year, but I did use up some old bits ‘n’ pieces recently.
This is another card from that session.
An under used SU set, it cuts out a poinsettia and leaves,
behind which I carefully placed some different coloured scraps of glitter card,
adding a stitched oval die cut sentiment.
I’m joining in the new Allsorts challenge #824, where they are celebrating their 16th birthday,
and offering some fantastic prizes. They make it very easy to be creative with an “anything goes” theme.
We took my sister out yesterday to a local “garden safari”.
I’m not sure if this is just a UK thing? I’d be interested to know 🤔
People kindly open their gardens to the public in aid of a charity or local fund raiser.
There were six gardens open, all different, looking very pretty, with great ideas to take home.
There was also a tea garden with lots of cake, so that was literally with icing on the cake. 😂
The weather was good, and we met some lovely people.
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments
Take care and see you soon

ReplyDeleteA fabulous poinsettia Christmas card for Rudolph Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for joining in with the celebrations over at Allsorts xxx
That really is a rather lovely Poinsettia die allowing the shimmer to shine through from below. It's lovely to have you join in our 16th Birthday celebrations at Allsorts, thanks so much.

Using the glitter behind the poinsettia is so clever and makes the card sparkle, which is wonderful on a Christmas card. I don't know of any garden safari's here but I'm all about the cake!

ReplyDeleteHi Lesley
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful Christmas card .. .. and great for using up those pesky snippets we just can't part with. Having sparkly ones makes for a lovely finished look.
Great sentiment too.
Have a lovely weekend when it arrives.
