2024 Holiday

December 16, 2019

Oops! One more ...

Hello Stamplings!

Sorry! That was a very short break, wasn't it?! ๐Ÿ’ซ I forgot to add this card to my post yesterday, and it's my favorite.

(Waltzingmouse Poinsettias)
Just like we did with the watercolored cards I showed yesterday, I used my Ziggies to watercolor the poinsettias and then Hammy did his schplattering best all over! The sediment is from Avery Elle.

Actually, I'm glad I forgot this one because now I can enter it in the Craft Stamper Magazine Take It Make It challenge for December, where my friend Bonnie is the Guest Designer! (They ask that you only showcase one card in your post when you enter their challenge.)

Here's a side view of the card, showing the gleam of the embossing, gold schplatters, and die-cut sediment:
~~~

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!* 

If you find you aren't enjoying the holiday prep, then maybe you're overdoing it? Tell your relatives they will just have to get along because this year you are NOT hosting two dinners! 

With all seriousness, if the holidays are a time of great sadness or loneliness for you, Hammy and I send extra love and an extra-special hug!

*Life is too short!

  29. I find this version as gorgeous as the rest of your poinsettia cards but it’s nice to know which is your personal favorite. The favorites of my own cards aren’t always the favorites of my visitors, but how I feel about a card is often very connected to how I felt while making the card.

  30. How could you ever forget this glorious creation...those poinsettias are beautifully colored and all that twinkling spatter is dazzling. I can definitely see why it's your favorite.
    Cooking two holiday meals will NEVER happen in this house. What I serve they have to eat...or not...that's their choice. My house, my rules as my children and grandchildren know full well. Happy holidays!

    As it happens I AM doing 2 dinners this year, but it's a big family one and just us 3, so I'm OK with that LOL.
    Have a wonderful time.

  62. You’re reminding me I’ve a stamp like that kinda that needs breakfast ng out, bad me! Love the Ziggy colouring too.
    Popped over to let you know that your card arrived here in Oz today on Christmas Eve isn’t the Lord good?!
    Love it very much, so thanks for thinking of me.

    Have a great God blessed Christmas and break, with family.

    I’m blogging even done WOYWW post for tomorrow, Christmas Day, it will be scheduled but that’s best when so busy. Started on my 2020 cards already. Between Christmas and end of Jan I did two dozen this year, it made such a difference when could only manage one or two a month in busier months.
    I’m aiming to be done by Nov 30th again this coming year, it was great.
    Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too.
    Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
