cozy christmas

I do not know where my mojo has gone, it has gotten up and went. I did not get the christmas cards I wanted to make made; so I had to send some store bought cards...I know, shame on me. I have a few that had to be homemade and this is one of them. I have used the awesome stamp market set called botanicals stamp and cut bundle and created it to be like a poinsettia...I luv the stamp market! I faux watercolored by spritzing the paper with water and then stamping with tim holtz distress inks. I added glitter and a few sequins. The cozy christmas sentiment is from neat and tangled winter wishes set. i hope you are enjoying your time preparing for christmas, such an exciting time of year!

words with meaning - get cozy this christmas!
