Hero Arts Blog challenge

This month the challenge on the Hero Arts blog is to make Holiday Cards, also using non-Christmas stamps.


So this is my card, using the Friends definition stamp, the Simple Frame and the Garden Star (twice) to create a pinky, but Christmas looking card. The poinsettia stamp which has been randomly stamped on the background is a stamp that Louise sent me a couple of years ago - it's still going strong and such a nice stamp to have in one's collection for Christmas.

My inspiration came from Franziska, Tiffany and the Penny Black Blog.

Yesterday I started Radio therapy and it went very well, now just 32 to go and today I didn't have to go. The sun is still shining here!
Have a lovely day!

    All the best to you and glad to hear that your first therapy went well. Your card of non-christmas stamps looks like Christmas to me and very Victorian. I love it and thanks for sharing it with us.
    Blessings to you.

    Another soft and dreamy card Jacqueline! Love how you spotlighted the word Joy and contained the text within the frame! Oh man, I have been thinking of you so much and especially yesterday, so I am really happy to hear that your experience was "ok" relatively speaking! I am sending you waves of cyber hugs!
