If you remember back around Christmas time I used an artificial poinsettia (since I was too cheap to buy the die) that I'd gotten at the Dollar Store. Well, there were red ones and also some gold colored ones in the little pot. For this card I used a gold one but really think I prefer the red ones.....anyway, using the Merry Monday sketch for this week I created another card for Christmas! The sentiment is from Studio G and I used Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla (that I sponged some Antique Linen around) card stock and Paper Studio DP. It's really nice knowing I'm going to have so many of my Christmas cards completed before December!
Thanks for stopping by..............and have a wonderful weekend!

Absolutely gorgeous! What a great idea.
Another gorgeous Christmas card! The background paper looks like it was stamped on vellum! I love the gold & white poinsettia too!
Stay safe in those predicted storms tomorrow!! Happy Birthday too :)
Lesley's sketches are great aren't they! Such pretty paper to put behind the poinsettia. The bit of red behind the layers really makes it pop.
You don't need the die, when you can pick them up so cheaply Linda, the card is beautiful I like the paper,the bow and of course the poinsettia.
