Another blue Christmas card...

 

I love the look of poinsettias, especially pastel colored ones like the one on this card. 

I had the snowflake frame (a die-cut) on my desk, and almost as an afterthought I glued it to a blue card base. I had already mailed out all of my 2024 Christmas cards, so I was just making a few more to donate to the thrift store and trying to use up some pieces in my stash.

I thought a white poinsettia with just a hint of blue in the center would be perfect for this card.

I used one of my favorite die sets for the flower and, after inking each layer lightly, I added a blue gem to the center. 

I also die-cut the Merry Christmas and adhered that to the top of the oval space.

Don't you think this would be pretty in several different pastel colors? Like lilac, aqua, pink, etc.

I stamped a blue sentiment on the inside to finish the card.

I liked this one so much, that I decided I need to make a bunch of them for next year!

We had at least 5" of snow on Thursday. It was my day to volunteer at the thrift store, and it was a little dicey driving on snow-covered highways to get there. I have to drive on a bridge that spans the Minnesota River, and bridges can be extra icey in the wintertime. It was definitely slippery out there, but most people had reduced their speed (as did I) to about 40 mph. Thankfully, there were no problems going or coming home again.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
