It's almost Thanksgiving day here in the United States and I'm celebrating by being on vacation and making a Christmas card for our newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess is Jen Brum and her sketch is a classic one that you are going to love!
All of a sudden winter has arrived here in Massachusetts and I'm not ready. 😬 I've been spoiled by unseasonably warm weather this fall and then whammo - it's freezing outside! The cold weather inspired another Christmas card and I went with a white poinsettia so that it would show up against the plaid background. And in true fashion, once I had the card done, photographed, and ready to post I realized I forgot the sentiment. I hate when I do that! Apologies to Jen and her pretty sketch!
I'm also playing along with the latest Tic Tac Toe challenge where I'm using plaid, layers, and a die cut.
Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to check out Freshly Made Sketches for a great sketch and some design inspiration!
Supplies
Paper: Solar White (Neenah); Cherry Cobbler, Gold Foil, Wrapped in Plaid DSP (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Blooming Poinsettia die (Memory Box)

Beautiful Jen - The white poinsettia is stunning against the plaid background. I don't think the sentiment is missed - I'm sure Jen will forgive you! Wrap up warm - thanks for joining us over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week!
We're having the same in the middle of England - beautifully mild in the autumnm no coat required and now suddenly winter has arrived just in time for Christmas preparations! Just love your gorgeous card Jen. The poinsettia really pops against the plaid and I love the touches of gold. Thank you for coming to play at The Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Vicky x
The white flower is fabulous with the plaid!
Beautiful white poinsettia and the background adds such a warm feel to this card. I hope your winter is not too long nor too cold.
