For Coffee and Cards

 

Today is the day that Coffee and Cards is back on Thursday.  So I created a special Christmas card for us to make.  To me, one of the true signs of Christmas is the Poinsettia (besides the tree). My mother had so many Poinsettias around the house at Christmas time.  I know this was one of her favorite flowers to decorate the house.  So I pulled out Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set from the Holiday catalog.

I need to remind you that this card takes time. So we are making two detailed Christmas cards and one not so detailed.  Yes, only three cards, but well worth the time.  Take a look at the detail of this card.  It sparkles because of the gold embossing powder.  It doesn’t hurt that the Blends are just perfect.  To me, Shaded Spruce just screams Christmas. I used Poppy Parade instead of Real Red for a change.  It seems to have a brightness to it.
