I had a little fun yesterday, so I thought I'd share it with you! Time is traveling at the speed of light these days and I've barely put a dent in my need for Christmas cards! I'm not at all sure if my cards really make those Seniors Smile, but I like to think they do!
I recently purchased this sweet Waffle Flower Crafts Layered Poinsettia stencil set - you know by now it's my favorite flower at Christmas time! Paired with a few holiday greetings from their Wonderful Christmas, I had three cards done in about an hour! All have that sweet slip of vellum to lift the die cuts without foam - always a bonus with Christmas mailing!
Shades of pink...
Deeper reds...
Why not a little lavender?
While not very bright it's very calming, right?
Many more to make, my friends, so off I go - thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Michele. I love the soft effect you get from the Vellum. I've been looking at how to use it recently, so thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found me at Color Hues. I admit, I'm not great at using the reading list either. But I get your notifications on Insta, so you won't escape me :o)
Beautiful, Michele! These are simply stunning, no matter the color -- and yes, very calming and peaceful, as Christmas should be
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trio, Michele! The softly stenciled poinsettias are so pretty! Placing a shiny silver sentiment on a vellum slip is a great idea!
