Back again with Christmas Cards, and this fortnights Challenge is set by Valery, who wanted to see Poinsettias. Now, all the Poinsettia stamps I have I've used in the past for the challenges, so as we also have the option of Anything Goes, that's what I've done for this one. I do have other reasons too- we had visitors yesterday, so my plans for crafting didn't happen, and also somehow or other, I've managed to develop sciatica! No idea what happened, I'd been fine all morning, got up from my desk, and could barely stand.The only upside to it is that it must be on my left side, as I can't feel the classic pain all down my leg, and as I have nerve damage that side, that would explain it.Oh well, onto the cards.
I made these earlier in the week, not specifically for this, I'd had an idea for how to use the 'card strips from scraps' technique I've done in the past. I thought the Memory Box Baubles dies would suit it nicely.
I'd made up some strip sheets using Christmas colours for this, and although a bit fiddly, they came out OK.
The sentiment is from a Hobby Art set, Winter Wishes. The Embossing Folder is from Crafts Too called Seamless Circle.
There will be a blog post on the making of these a little later, as I've also done a You Tube Video of it.
