Joulukukkakortteja / Christmas Flower Cards

 Viikko jouluun! Mitään en ole valmistellut, paitsi kortteja! Mutta kunhan siivoaa ja laittaa vähän joulukoristeita mökillä, se on siinä. Jouluruoat ei maistu kenellekään, suklaalla herkutellaan. Ehkä gluteiinittomia kakkuja teen. Voi kun säät suosisi ja pääsisi ulkoilemaan, olen ollut niin sisällä pitkään.

Asiaan, tämän viikon Allsorts haastetta emännöin minä ja aiheena "joulukukat ja/tai kranssit" - tai aina kaikki käy- vaihtoehto!
Toivottavasti ehditte mukaan, perjantai-iltapäivään asti aikaa osallistua.

"Öitä on monta, mutta joulu on vaan kerran vuodessa, ja sen tähden iloitkaamme nyt" Aleksis Kivi
(  sentiment stamp Paper Garden)
Joulukalenterivaihdossa sain materiaalit seuraavaan korttiin, leimasin ( Studio Light) minulla onkin ennestään, en vaan ollut ehtinyt sitä kaivaa esille.

Welcome, it's time for a new Allsorts Challenge week! It's my time to host and my theme is "Christmas Flowers and/or  Wreaths - or simply Anything goes. Hope you have time to enter as it is Christmas Week.
Two first cards are made with StudioLight stamp with beautiful poinsettias and wreaths. First white one is simple with poinsettia embossed background and lovely sentiment from our national writer.
The second one is more is more, materials are from this year's Christmas calendar ( with friends) - and I used all to this card! Have you seen these nude poinsettias in nature?!


Here's one tea light candle card with poinsettias, you can see the inside too.

Last weekend I and my daughter were in a big Christmas Fair at Porvoo, in the southern seaside of Finland, 3 days, we stayed at the hotel.
Lots of people over 30 000, lots of buses and groups from all over, even from Lapland. It was located in an old Art Center, there were about 150 sellers, lots of hand crafters, artists of all kind. It has been one of my dream to participate at these Fair, now it's done. Last year I got my Pop Up Shop in a shopping center.
Here's our table, my cards and crafts and daughter's colourful bijoux.

Stunning cards Mervi, as for the colour of the poinsettia, I saw one recently similar in colour at a local garden centre, it was as gorgeous as your cards, I love the candle cards, also beautiful. WOW! You made so many cards for the Fair. Well done you, I hope you were very successful.
