We've done the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day/Boxing Day shop today - I have no idea how many some people are feeding when you look at overflowing shopping trollies!
My share is inspired by Pinterest - and I used a few snippets for this so am popping over to see Miss Di at the Playground.
The die was obtained by a friend for me from the USA. I simply love this PB die and it has been used quite a bit on cards this year. It just shouts Christmas to me!
I used a scrap of watercolour card and started to paint it, adding some shimmer powder as I went along. It really made a difference to the flat base colour. The darker sections were left without the powder as I wanted the centre part to draw the eye.
Nuvo Gold applied to the centre, the berries and a little bit on the fronds.
A die cut sentiment from another bit of scrap and finished card!

Absolutely stunning Viv. This card is amazing and I think I’d be tempted to keep it if I were you! lol. You put your feet up and pour yourself a cheeky glass of something. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and all the very best in 2020 xx
Gorgeous Viv, just so striking in that beautiful red with the added shimmer and with the background colour and texture, and the added gold Nuvo drops. I will be around some more til Christmas, but will wish you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderfully creative new year, and thanks for all your visits to me which are most appreciated. x
Wow, what a stunning card, I love the colours and the die is beautiful. Merry christmas to you xx
Fabulous card, Viv. I love the delicate background you've created for the stunning flower. xx
Really lovely card, a great shade of red and it really stands out against the lovely subtle background.
Thank you for joining our 'Anything Goes' challenge at Allsorts.

What a gorgeous card. Glad you enjoyed your break. We love broadway and beyond, seen it twice now but although the Xmas show was good it wasn’t as good as the last two years. It lacked the wow factor of last year. We fed that back to them and a lot of people said the same so next year will be back to wow. We are so lucky onky 40 mins drive for us to get to Potters. Off there again in a couple of weeks.
Viv, I'm totally in awe of this beautiful card :) I love the stencilled background and your amazing poinsettia.
Merry Christmas Christine
A beautiful card Viv, love the moulded flower and the shimmery accents.. really lovely. I too wonder about the food shopping fold do, must be feeding many so I'm glad this year there's only just three of us and I'm going to enjoy a no fuss dinner. Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best to you and the family hugs Robyn
Absolutely beautiful Viv and so very stylish, many thanks for sharing and joining us at Allsorts challenge. Wishing you and your a Peaceful and Happy Christmas and my thanks for your support of your challenge this year.
Daughter and I thought we were ahead of the game ordering our M&S food for yesterday, how wrong we were, we even had to queue for a trolly, then at the collection point, then at checkout, nightmare. The manager had told me earlier in the week Monday was going to be the busy day so goodness only know what that's going to be link.

Absolutely stunning and your card really has the wow factor Viv x
This is the most stunning poinsettia card I've seen all season! Absolutely breath-taken-away gorgeous! I may need to track down that die (not that I could present it as well as you, but I'd sure give it a try!). Thrilled to see this work of art in the INK gallery!
