Christmas Poinsetta

the only way I get to have one in my house is on a card as soon as I buy them they curl up and die.....too draughty in my house

red and white certainly seems to be my favourite this year.....
I have stamped and embossed the Justrite christmas holly background stamp, used the justrite christmas miracle ornaments to emboss the bauble and cut out with my spellbinders die.....spellbinders poinsetta with white embossing.....cheerylynndesigns holly flourish and a few bits of bling....hope you like it....

this time a christmas Tree....cross stitch

I bought an american cross stitch design set and am reworking my way through......

I have sewn seed beads round the base and on the tree as ornaments I think next time I will make them red ones.....
