Poinsettia and holly




I really wanted to add this card with my new Poinsettia digi image but the light here is awful today - it's been raining for "months" now (well, it feels like that anyhow!)

The punches used are Tonic Studios Mini Paper punch Holly and Floral Border




There is actually quite a bit of glitter on the centre of the flower but it's not being picked up by the light - and I've fiddled around with a candle for so long trying to highlight it that I's afraid of setting the whole thing on fire!!


This is just one of the digi images which you could win..the details are HERE

  2. It looks stunning in red and white Ruth and what clever use of those punches again.

    I had hoped for some bright weather today for pictures, but no such luck, dull and damp but oddly very mild.
