Jen T. has another really wonderful Sketch for us over at Freshly Made Sketches #598 ...
I found that the PF Poinsettias that my friend Nancy sent me paired quite sweetly with these little Colorado Craft Co. friends...
Perhaps a little closeup will help find them hiding in those Poinsettias?
Two things happened with this card: first, Pigment Crafts Co. inks are reacting beautifully with the Mixed Media paper I used today - maybe because they are dye-based? second, normally I'd get all upset about stray embossing powder - but in this case those bits of gold around the sentiment are quite pretty!
WHO CAN'T wait for Christmas? Probably many - but I'm not one of them! I'm still way behind on my cards! Thanks for the great Sketch to help me along, Jen!

Adorable! They do look so precious together! I can wait till Christmas, no problem. I'm still enjoying summer!
This is what I'd call a perfect pairing, Michele. They critters are so cute and right at home amongst the poinsettias.
I love how this sweet bunny is reclining in the clusters of poinsettias, Michele! Love the color in the background and how well it contrasts with the pastel flowers and sweet critters!
Adorable Christmas bunny card with your pretty die cut Washi Tape poinsettias, my friend. I am so pleased you enjoyed your die cuts. Always fun to share:-) Love and Hugs..
Yessss! I like the asymmetry of your designs while keeping true to the sketch. And the gold embossing? Genius!
What a delightful card to celebrate the season, Michele. So soft and pretty with a darling bunny!
Elegant cards, love the pastels.
Awwwwwwww....could this card be any sweeter?!!! What a fabulous combination to put the lovely Poinsettias and the adorable little Anita Jeram mice together Michele...love, LOVE this!! Hugs. :0)
Oooops...meant bunny NOT mouse!!
You know I love a cute bunny and this little fella lounging among the poinsettias is adorable! Sweet card, Michele!
Absolutely darling! Love the gold too. Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
They all work beautifully together! That sweet bunny sitting in the lovely poinsettias is a wonderful look. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
At first glance, without looking closely, I thought this was a fall card and I was loving the fall colors. LOL Then I started looking closely and saw that it was a beautiful Christmas card! I am really loving the colors on this one! The poinsettias are just gorgeous, love the sentiment-with the stray flecks of embossing powder-makes it look magical and I adore the birdie and the bunny-so sweet and fit in there perfectly! What a fabulous Christmas card Michele, yes Brenda, Christmas, not fall! LOL I'm one of the ones not ready for Christmas! LOL Not because I don't love it, but because I have lots more cards to get made too. Hugs, Brenda
This is such a sweet card! I love the soft colors and these super cute images. Thanks so much for joining us at FMS this week.
The gold embossing is wonderful with the soft colors! So sweet for the holidays!
A beautiful elegant card and thank you for the closeup as bloggers' blindness has reared its ugly head. Such soft delicate colours looks like a page from a children's book.

That sweet bird and bun combo with those fab poinsettia washi pieces is just perfect. I love the font on the sentiment too!
What an adorable bunny and poinsettia card, Michele! I've been working on the same die-cuts, thinking about how to arrange them, but the idea of adding a bunny (or any critter, for that matter) never crossed my mind! And I love the gorgeous ink-blended background!
