Christmas is coming. I've already got the lights on my house. Forgive me, it was sunny and that happens so rarely in November here. I can feel myself gearing up for the holidays. I think the report card writing does it to me. Anything to procrastinate...
With that in mind, I'm making more Christmas cards. I decided to use the Cardinal in my Presents set from Mark's Finest Papers. DH wants this card to give a co-worker since he says it looks like an Angry Bird. Once a geek, always a geek! Personally I love the new poinsettia die. I'm so going to have fun procrastinating with that one this week.
This week's challenge on Sketch with a Twist is to use a button. Mine is the centre of the poinsetta. The image is paper pieced. I really wanted to use that small patterned paper for the present. I was worried about trying to cut out the pine needles but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I have managed to make over 40 cards this year for Christmas and somehow there are only about 15 in my stash. Hmmm. Where do they all go? Maybe I should stop allowing family to raid my stash when needed...
Your card is beautiful; love the image and poinsettia.
