Christmas in July

Good Morning

A warm welcome to my new followers, I do appreciate the fact that you have decided to follow me.

Today I would like to share my Christmas in July card that I made.  This is the first time ever that I have made a Christmas card this early in the year, maybe that is a sign that I will be making some more and that this year I will send all my friends and family cards that I have made myself.

Because most of our belongings are still stored, I could not find one piece of paper in the stash that I have with me that had a Christmas feel, so here is my improvised card. I used traditional red and green to bring the Christmas feel over.

I have also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the green paper, I have actually forgotten how much fun embossing can be.

This is a close-up of Tilda with Hellebore's.

I have just Googled the flower Hellebore's and found that the flower is mostly white and then in shades of pinks, purples, greens and maroon.  Now I am wondering, is it okay to colour them in the colour of our choice, to suite our colour theme of our card?

I would love to know what your comment about the above question is, so please leave me a comment.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

1.  Simply Magnolia - Embossing challenge
2.  Totally Gorjuss Challenge - Christmas
3.  Rubber Stamping in South Africa July Challenge - Chrismas

Thank you and have a great day.

Hugs,

Centre Step Card

Good Morning

What a beautiful day and with the month of February here, I am a very happy girl, no it does not have anything to do with the fact that it is almost Valentines day.  My hubby and me do not really celebrate Valentines day, but we do have a very special day that we celebrate.  We celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 15th of February - and this year it will be 9 years.

But I do love to make cards for Valentines day and here is my newest card.  This is a centre step card, a new favourite of mine, I must say I love the dimension that it has.

I used some pearls to make swirls and both the sides.

My Tilda was coloured with copics and it is the first time that I coloured her hair in this dark a shade. I love the colour combination of pink and green, it goes so well with the flowers that I had in my stash.

I will enter this card into the following challenges:

1.  Vintage and Shabby Chic challenge over at Magnolia-licious

2.  Hearts and Love challenge over at Simply Magnolia

3.  Love is in the air challenge over at The Paper Shelter

Thank you to everybody for coming over here to read my post, I really do love to hear from you, so please leave me a comment and become a follower.

Have a great day.

Hugs,

Marika
