Glittery Red Poinsettia

It is raining here for the fourth day in a row (as in all of this year!).  If it wasn't the middle of summer it wouldn't be that unusual though!

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

It is hard to believe that it is summer here.  Yesterday we started off the year with a rainy day.  Today, the weather has gone one better with thunderstorms!  Hopefully, we can return to summery weather tomorrow!

White On White

I haven't made a white on white card for a while and I'm away from home and don't have as many of my white cardstock, embellishments, etc as I would like so I have created a more CAS card with what I do have:

Sami Stamps - White on White
http://samistamp.blogspot.co.nz/2017/12/new-image-little-holly-unicorn-and-sami.html

I have used a white card blank.  I embossed some white cardstock with an embossing folder from Couture Creations.  The image is from Sami Stamps and coloured with some crystallina Kindy Glitz which looks white in the bottle but picks up other colours when photographed.  I also added some white grosgrain ribbon and some white pearls.

Blue and Purple Christmas

I started off creating 2 cards using this same image - one traditional and one non-traditional.  This is the only one that I managed to complete.
