Hi girls. Great to have you here visiting my blog today. I really appreciate you making the effort. Especially since I haven't been the most active blogger recently. I am afraid that the doctor has been changing my medication and I am struggling to settle into the new regime. Still, I sure I'll get there.I managed to put together this Christmas card and despite the fact that I am not totally convinced by it I decided to post it anyway. Can't quite put my finger on what I don't like about it. The images were all freebies in a magazine, coloured with my trusty Copics. The poinsettia stamp is from the Medallion range by Impressions cut out and coloured with Copics. The design paper is by My Mind's Eye and I used red Mirra board as a mount. The snowflakes were cut from the red mirra board using a Martha Stewart punch and the gems came from my stash.
I would love it if you had time to leave a comment letting me know what you think of this card - don't hold back if you don't like it - constructive critisism always welcomed.
Thank you for visiting and have a great day. Above all stay safe and healthy.
Love and Hugs,

Hi Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI really like this card! I think the bears in the circles, and then having the one oval offset make for a great looking design. Of course I love your beautiful poinsettia!
Hugs,
Lisa

I love the design of the card with the different individual images in each circle... and if i was to make a suggestion.. i would say maybe a bow instead of a flower.. even though i love your flowers so much!

Hi Fiona, I'm so inspired by your design, I have thesestamps too and always thought they were too little to do anything with, I never thought of putting them on the card together. I will dig them out now and have a play.
ReplyDeleteHope your Meds settle down for you and you can get back to feeling more settled.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Fiona it's good to see your still managing to create. I would say that your card is a little bit busy possibly a plain backing paper would have helped or just taking off one or two elements on your card.
ReplyDeleteI hope the change of meds will settle down for you Fiona
Hugs

Don't know why you've reservations about it Fiona. I'm sure anyone would be delighted to have it fall through their letterbox in a few weeks time.
ReplyDeleteHope the new meds do the trick for you.
