There's still time to get a few more Christmas cards made, my friends! We are hoping you might make a few with flowers, as it is time for our
I've already represented the Poinsettia as my favorite Christmas bloom, but today I have another that equates to the holiday, in my mind - besides her gorgeous Christmas cacti blooming, my mom grew one bulb every year! Have you guessed?
Why it's the Amaryllis of course!

Today I've colored this Mondo Amaryllis as a Royal Velvet variety, in deep rich reds.
I love finding photos on the internet to use as my inspiration.
Here are the Copic markers I used today.
We have a wonderful guest joining us for Christmas, my friend Stef Perry! So be sure to check out her gorgeous card, and all the beauty in our DT gallery today!
Thanks for stopping by!

Your fabulous velvety red amaryllis look stunning against the crisp white embossed background Michele x. Like your Mum, I too love the Amaryllis in the house at Christmas and DH always buys me some x. A real stunner Michele x.
Its a beauty, Michele.
You've done your Mom proud with this gorgeous amaryllis, Michelle. You captured the depth and richness of this bloom perfectly.

Your amaryllis are oh so beautiful Michele! I love those flowers too and especially in that velvety red that your colored perfectly! Thanks for the little shout out too, it was a treat to join you and the rest of the DT team this month ❤.

What a beauty, Michele! Love the velvety texture you achieved just by coloring the gorgeous bloom!
Oh so beautiful, Michele. Thank you so much for sharing.
You captured the beauty of this amaryllis perfectly! Gorgeous!
How absolutely gorgeous, and a perfect floral Christmas card. I always gave one to my mother after Thanksgiving so she could watch it grow as the season unfolded. She was an avid gardener, and this always made her so happy. Thanks for the heart strings tug with your beautiful creation.
Absolutely GORGEOUS Michele! LOVE the deep and vibrant red of your Amaryllis...so striking against the white background! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs!! :0)
Gorgeous, Michele! My son-in-law gave me an amaryllis this year and I have enjoyed it tremendously. I wish I'd taken a picture of it when all four blossoms were open. I've lost two but it's still beautiful - white with red edges.
If you are only going to grow one bulb you might as well make it a fabulous one! Gorgeous bloom!
Gorgeous and beautifully colored Mondo Amaryllis, Michele. Love your CAS design too. TFS my friend. Happy Holidays...Love and Hugs..Nancy

Absolutely STUNNING Christmas card, Michele! Beautiful Copic coloring and I love how you added texture with the woodgrain background...so elegant! xx
Perfect, your colouring is gorgeous and the soft textured embossing makes the perfect background. I seem to be running a bit slow recently. Too much going on xx
Wow, what a gorgeous Amaryllis, Michele! Your coloring with deep rich reds is fantastic! The white woodgrain background makes the flowers pop. I love that your sentiment has color-matching shades too. :-)
