A Victorian Christmas

You will be pleased to know that I am getting to the end of my collection of

cards that feature 'that' poinsettia die and matching embossing folder.

I have to admit I was rather chuffed at how this card turned out. The papers

remind me of Victorian style wallpaper that can often be seen in old movies

and books. I really must use that branch die more often...it is so versatile.

Those tiny little 'pinecones' are from a tree we planted in one of our 

front paddocks many years ago.

For a change, I did not adhere a die-cut panel in the inside of the card,

but wrote my personal message directly on the DP.
