Nature has it's Christmas Decorations on - Poinciana's are flowering


I am a person who puts their tree up on the 1st of December for Christmas but I do love when nature starts Christmas early.  These are all the Poinciana trees I saw on my Saturday morning walk - aren't they stunning.

12yo Nephew Birthday Card

 



Hi everyone,  I made this for my nephew who turned 12 last week. As I'm not quite sure what he is into these days, I thought I'd stick with a bright, cheery and fun theme. I layered up some word die cuts, coloured the top ones with my silver pen.

An out of the blue post - Craftmad November Swap Cards

 

 Our Craftmad Swap for November (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1862456534025182) was 1 x Recycle card and 1 x card using another card as inspiration.  I used all the items above to create my card below, this was my second attempt of the recycle card as I wasn't really happy with my first try.  The orange background squares used the granola box topped with an egg shell mosiac - such fun.  A technique I will do again.  The flowers and letters from a magazine.




My first attempt used all of this - calendar, dictionary page, ribbon from gifts received and washi tape.


I love looking at styles like this and admire them but I just can't seem to get it.  I'll stick to looking and admiring.


Our inspiration photo


My card.  The flowers are embossed onto a pearl sheen card which doesn't show in the photo.  I hand cut around the flowers.

Thanks for visiting and I will try really hard to not leave my next post too long.
