this weeks christmas card....

I do hope all my blogger friends are keeping safe and well....we have been having a busy week in the garden and dealing with jobs in the house...my lovely Richard has had to develop  new skills and mend a dripping tap...a broken door latch and a malfunctioning hi fi....thank goodness for the internet and those how to fix pages....
I spent a couple of days making up flowers and saw a lovely card on pinterest which I have used for inspiration to make these two cards.....



Out with my scan and cut for the cardblank...tattered lace 3D poinsettia collection and a gorgeous Heartfelt creations stamp from many years ago....
I hope you are keeping yourselves busy and staying home and safe....

Such gorgeous cards Margaret. I shall certainly be "borrowing" this idea. I am lucky in having a husband who is extremely practical and can turn his hand to anything so we have never had to call in workmen etc. He can do plumbing, electrics etc which all came in handy when we were building our house. Stay safe. Christine xx

I think both cards are gorgeous but really enjoyed seeing the purple poinsettia one. I have a friend that LOVES purple and this would be a great idea for a Christmas card for her...I had not thought poinsettias would look so pretty in this colour.

Beautiful cards Margaret, your poinsettias are gorgeous and I love the design.
I hope you are keeping well, it sounds like Richard is being very resourceful - like you say you can find anything on the internet!

You have such lovely collections of Tattered Lace flower dies Margaret. This mix of mistletoe, holly and poinsettia looks amazing and I love the colourways too. It's difficult to get my hands on these dies as mostly they are sold as a bundle which is just too expensive for me and then the individual dies are sold out by the time I get to them. Am I correct in thinking that you have to have the USB for the Charisma images to match them too?
