Seasonal Stripes

Good morning everyone!  I'm not sure where the week went, but it's Saturday again.  Looks like I'll be going out shopping with my daughter, a nice break from the gardening and home renovations that I've started.  That will still all be here when I get back!!  With any luck, I may get a few ideas for Christmas.  Let's just hope everyone else isn't doing the same....I can't stand the crowds!


On that note, how about another Christmas card!  Here, I've used another of the fabulous seasonal images from Just Inklined....Christmas Poinsettia.  I've steered away from the traditional red flower this time, colouring with copics and a bit of glitter pen. Thanks to the papers and trimmings, I thinking it has a vintage feel.

Other supplies used:
Papers from MME - Lost & Found Christmas
Spellbinders dies - Labels Twelve and Marvelous Squares
MS punch - Pine Branch
Other - distress ink, ribbon, washi tape, gold pearls and metallic pen

Here's wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and hopefully a bit of sunshine comes your way!
