Poinsettias for the Christmas Card Club

Hello Everyone, time for another card for the Christmas Card Club. I almost missed it, lost all track to time and days since I've been off work. February having only 28 days has thrown me too, I keep thinking there is still another few days until the end of the month.

 Anyway the theme this time around is Poinsettias and chosen by, Duchess Margaret, her is my effort,
This is one of my favourite stamps I've had for a while from Papermania. Coloured with a mixture of SN, Copics and Prismapencils. Festive Berries round the edge and matted on to an embossed card, Diesire Folder Bells.  Stickles in Icicle and liquid Pearls in Opal White. Sentiment from same stamp set.
I wanted to keep it fairly simple letting the focus be the lovely image, I didn't think it needed any bows and whatnots.
I was a lovely challenge Margaret, I enjoyed playing aling so thank you very much for your choice.
They other lovely ladies from the CCC will be along too to show off their lovely creations.
It's a smashing wee club to belong to, they member's choices are always fab, even the challenging ones and of course it means getting ahead of the game with your Christmas cards.

I hope things are well with you all and thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last post,

    What a lovely stamp Kate. I initially thought that it was a die cut. And you were right not to add too much that would distract from the lovely image. Hope you are feeling much better now. Hugs Christine xx

    Kate, a wonderfully beautiful image, and colored so pretty. Love that festive poinsettia tucked in with the glowing candles. Love the touch of pink edging around the scene and the white embossing on the background. Hope you are feeling much better today. TFS & Happy Sunday.
