I was struggling to think of how to make a background here until I thought of using two shades of green on a blue background card using the harlequin stencil.
I stamped a poinsettia 3 times with blue ink and fussy cut it and decided to simplify Linda's design and change it around a bit! My flower layered up and mounted in the corner on some leftover waxed paper leaves that had prevented my paper from getting stuck.
I am not good with tying bows so this is as fancy as it gets!
I would like to enter at Country View Crafts Challenge - Christmas
Thanks for looking, Chris

Beautiful card Chris.
I think this is fabulous. I'm impossible at tying bows, so you certainly have mine beat by a mile. I really like the design of this one, and was so happy to read you recycled a bread wrapper. Ingenious, dear friend.
A really beautiful card! Wow what a fab idea for a bread wrapper! Super!
Fab card, love the bow - like Elizabeth, I cannot do them neatly either.
A lovely card Chris and a great take on Linda's tag.Hope you had a lovely Christmas.

Ooh, that dark blue is so elegant, and the bow and the poinsettia pop with dimension beautifully.

I love your blues, Chris, and your poinsettia looks beautiful! I could easily use a bow tying tutorial, as I am horrible with bows. Love your use of the recycled bread wrapper! Hugs!
