A Bit of Christmas on this Hot Day



 Beautiful inspiration from Chriss Blagrave !

Muse: ChristmasVisions 15



Hello, I am sneaking this card in as DH naps. He just came home from his week long fishing trip in Canada with friends and our grandson, near Cedar Lake Lodge. His friend has his own small island they have been going to for over 20 years. 


I am loving the black and gold on this Christmas card. I used my Poppystamps [1299] DIES- Stitched Holly Leaves and Berries. I cut the leaves out of watercolor paper then used my Zig pens and just a bit of water! 
Have a great week everybody!

    Beautful colors and design Marybeth - love your watercolored leaves and the dies you used here - I was just watching HG TV this week where people were buying their own islands in Canada - bet that week was awesome for your DH and GS!

    Oh wow--I may have to get those dies! Your card is incredibly beautiful, Marybeth! Hope your hubby had a successful fishing trip. Keep hoping our neighbor will bring us some of his catch since he goes fishing several times a week.
