Good Morning, it's a tad chilly here and I can see white tips on the grass so another frost by the look of things which is sure to bring more leaves tumbling off the trees, but the Autumnal colours are still so beautiful and I could make cards on that theme all year, but I need to get a grip on Christmas.
So it's just as well that my good friend Ruth at A Passion for Stamps has been busy with her pencil again and created some lovely new images, here are a couple I came up with using her new Poinsettia and Holly images.
The red and green one uses the holly and poinsettia images printed twice onto Farbiano watercolour card, coloured with Aquamarkers and decoupaged. The sentiment is Stampandous CRQ146 and the DP Kaiser 25th December collection.
For the blue card I printed the poinsettia image onto pearlescent cardstock and pored detail gold embossing powder over it quickly so I could heat emboss and was really pleased with how well it showed up the lovely detail of the image. The DP is Magnolia and the sentiment Penny Black 3995F.

Beautiful cards, Brenda. Ruth's stamps are gorgeous, I have a few tucked away on my pc. The holly leaves are lovely and I love the untraditional blue poinsettia. I never thought of printing onto pearlescent card and it may be too thick for my printer but will try it sometime because I do like the effect you've got. Elizabeth x

Love both cards Brenda, the poinsettia image is one of my favourites. Your blue and white circle card is stunning. Your BG on the first combines well with your image.

The red poinsettia makes a very pretty and festive card. I really like the idea of the blue one as well! It looks great on the easel card.

Amazing how different these two cards are using the same poinsettia image - I just love poinsettia flowers. I'd never have thought of using blue - but I have to confess it is my favourite of your two cards - quite stunning & the particularly love the way you have trimmed those ribbon ends so they reflect the shapes the flower petals create for the flower's head.

Beautiful Xmas cards Brenda - the Poinsettia looks fabulous in red, but I really like the "alternative" blue version too. The round easel card is one of my fave. designs and this one is totally gorgeous!
Hope all is well with you and yours Brenda - hugs, Sylvia xx
Beautiful Xmas cards Brenda. Easel is one of my faves too. Too bad I don't do it often!
Both of these cards are beautiful. Wouldn't have thought to use it with blue though and it looks stunning.
