Amaryllis for Christmas

The Timeless Tuesday Challenge at Flourishes is a Recipe Challenge from Cindy to include in your creation a flower, ribbon and a tag!  I decided to use the Amaryllis Stamp from the set "A Year In Flowers  3".  The Amaryllis is such a lovely flower for the holidays. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic White  CS and colored in Copics. This was cut with Nesties circle die and placed on a Red CS Mat cut with Nesties Scalloped Circle die. I used a card base of the White CS with a Mat of Authentique Wonder Checked Paper. Befor adding the Satin Ribbon, I embossed it with Cuttlebug EF Divine Swirls for some texture. Finished with a tag stamped with sentiment from "Paperwhites" stamp set and a flower purchased by a member of my stamp club. I used a sketch from Our Creative Corner.

I have all my Christmas cards ready to address and get in the mail but first I am trying to get my decorations finished.  I always have a bad case of the But First disease at this time of the year. Do you ever suffer from that?


 I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
