Won't be long now before the Christmas cards need to be in the mail. This year has just flown by.
This is a beautiful Penny Black image I have watercoloured with distress inks. I first heat embossed in white and added a background of light blue. Watercoloured the poinsettias, leaves and berries and stamped a sentiment in dark red.

Gorgeous card, Loll. The watercolouring is beautiful, as always.
Wonderful photo of the Jessie, she's just adorable. xx
Love your heat embossed and beautifully colored poinsettias, Lolly. Pretty with the watercolored background that helps pop up your flowers. Wonderful font on your sentiment. TFS your card and the adorable photo of Jessie and her treasured glove:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
I am working on getting my International Christmas cards ready to mail..as we speak!!! Love and Hugs...Nancy
Beautiful card, and your Jesse is Gorgeous also!
Aah! I love Jessie's bangs and red is her color! Love those red poinsettias too! Beautifully watercolored and festive!
BEAUTIFUL, Loll, this is really fantastic. Jessie is as cute as ever too
Such a beautiful PB stamp and love the look of the white embossing and the blue in the background which shows off the prettily coloured poinsettias perfectly Loll. What a sweet photo of Jessie too.. I don't think you'll have any problem finding that glove in that wonderful bright red..lol. We posted our overseas cards today. Last year our son in Australia didn't get his Christmas card until a week afterwards and it had nearly three weeks to get there, so just hoping that with all the problems it does make it on time this year. x
Beautiful card - the blue shading really makes the poinsettia stand out. And I love the photo of Jessie and her Covid hair.
Hi Loll,
Happy Rudolf Days.
I love your wonderful card and those poinsettias are so pretty.
Beautifully coloured and inked as well.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Oh! Please don't mention Christmas cards and getting them in the mail ..... I haven't finished making mine yet!!
This one is beautiful .... I love poinsettias, and yours are stunning. Beautifully coloured and I love the white embossing.
Gorgeous photo of Jessie too ..... she's just adorable xx
What a pretty image and wonderfully colored!
Beautiful card and sweet looking pup!
Beautiful watercolor flowers and I like that soft wash around them for shading. Oh my, Jessie looks adorable with her red glove, highlights in her hair (which are so fashionable now) and those big innocent eyes. My hair looks a lot like hers right now!
Gorgeous poinsettia spray and as always beautifully watercoloured by yourself, lovely card Loll, and a wonderful photo of Jessie - hugs Robyn
Beautiful Loll, your blue watercolour wash looks wonderful with the red of the poinsettia :)

I never tire of your beautiful floral watercolored cards, Lolly! Do you know, I don't think I've ever watercolored with DI. I know! You do wonders with them and every time I see one of your cards, I think how I have to give it a try ... maybe next month I'll actually get to some of these things I have been wanting to try. Stop laughing!
Thank you for telling me about the photo or I would have missed seeing my favorite one yet! I actually LOVE her Covid hair - and that face! Here's what she's thinking: "Hmmm, I'm not sure. She gave me this, but, really? Is it really okay?" I just want to swoop her up in a hug!! TFS! Love, Dolly
