Full Bloom Christmas

The time between Christmas and New Year always seems a little strange.
I see it as a time to relax and to think about both the year that's coming to an end and the year that's about to begin - there are always new adventures to be had - especially if the old ones were too much!
One of our KCUK members has a birthday in this time, so I made her this card.
I used Oxides for the background with a couple of collage stamps featuring stars and this lovely Startrish Design image as my focal image. I added a few of the stars I die cut from my TH Christmas Tree decorations.
Of course, it's going to be late... oops! I honestly didn't forget the date, I just lost track of which day was which - a consequence of total relaxation - so only realised last night that it was Saturday 😁
I don't think she'll even notice because she's very Scottish and will be seriously celebrating Hogmanay!
I don't think I shared the one I made for Christmas, although I did share some of the tags I made with the smaller images... it features another of Trish's designs and a background in similar colours, but with Christmas texts stamped behind her, embossed in black and white.
They both seem to have lost the very rosy cheeks I gave them...sometimes alcohol markers blend a little TOO well - or maybe I blend them too much! These girls are larger than I expected, just over 5"/13cm tall, so I'm pleased I decided to get two smaller images, too.
The Country View Challenges Stars challenge is still live, so I'll link to them and to

looks like the perfect card for a Birthday at this time of year, love the background and the focal image, thank you for joining in at MMM
Once again, you have made some absolutely incredible cards. Truly lovely and SO mailable, too. Happy New Year, dear Cath.
These are great cards Cath. I think your friend will understand how the birthday card is a little late. I'm not sure what Hogmanay is (I am going to go look it up as soon as I finish this comment), but I think everyone is in the same mood. It is a good time to go into relax mode, isn't it? These angel images are great stamps. They look pretty good sized too. I hope you enjoy your relax time and have a super New year. hugs-Erika
