Traditional Christmas Colours
Hope your day is going well everyone. It is very cold here so after doing a bit of shopping I think crafting is definitely the way to go.
At Show us your Twinchies this time we are asked to make a twinchie using traditional Christmas colours. So many colours are used on cards these days but the green, red and gold always makes me think of Christmas.
Here is mine-a decoupaged poinsettia and some fine gold peel-off strip around the edge of the card.
I made it from this ribbon I have had for years and used for a few things. First I backed a bit of it with card and cut out the poinsietta shape and some leaves then I kept juggling various bits of the image to make it fit the twinchie as the ribbon was too wide.
Love Chrissie xx
Oooh lovely, that gold bit of sparkle really makes them stand out and look special
