The powders look so pretty, along with the white heat embossing and what a beautiful sprig of holly on your fabulous card Christine x.

A beautiful card and I will be running that song through my head all day! Whoa, those Nuance powders are gorgeous and give the softest colors.

What a brilliant idea to use the script and a sprig of holly with the pretty berries so prettily coloured, and the nuance powder mix in the background is beautiful Christine. x

Beautiful card. Love the colours. Great resist technique.

It is wonderful how you get little spots of colour that sit in the embossing when you use powders, I love that look and it is very well demonstrated on your card. Brilliant. Thanks for your recent visit, so sorry to hear you lost your Mum, but nice that you have been able to catch up with family xx

Oh, so lovely with those gently changing Nuance powders playing with my eyes. The song script makes a fabulous background for your single holly sprig.

The watercolor powder is so fascinating! We all know that black is a component of all colors, but only when you try to create your background does it remind us of it. I love these little color spots, they add so much charm to this background. Thank you for the description of the card's creation, I was wondering how it was created and of course you surprised me

Love this stamp with the lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas songs, Christine! You powders blended beautifully and the holly is a bright and beautiful touch!

Love that background stamp with the bright holly over that wonderful background! How striking this is. I also love that your script shows up so clearly. I suspect I’ll be shopping yet again!

I LOVE this beautiful watercolored background, Christine! It's so interesting to see the various color speck here and there in the blueish grey. The white Christmas script pops beautifully, and the paper pieced holly is a cherry on top!

Hi Christine... LOVE these! I do have a tiny question. I read both your and Magenta's blog through a reader, Feedly. I noticed that on the Magenta blog's posts no pictures show up in the feed. I try to understand why. My guess is that you copy and paste the post from your own blog to the Magenta blog in one go, with text and pictures all in. If so... just send me a message.. as this way makes the M blog very instable apart from not showing the pictures.
