No Hammy here to take over the straw-blowing duties so this would probably have taken me a week. It is just gorgeous though...so bravo to you!!<br />That printed stained glass vellum looks gorgeous! I don't believe I've ever colored vellum, even though I have loads of it...so this is something I need to try.

Those poinsettia are so soft and pretty ... one of these days I need to try this spritz technique again (previously my attempts have just become a watery mess). You used it beautifully ... and didn't Hammy do well ... hope he's suitably unpursed by now. Never seen that stained glass vellum ... it's gorgeous ... both in those yummy jewel colours and naked ... love how that delicate background mimics the geometric shapes! LYAMYMA!

I'm so not ready for winter. lol I am totally in love with your poinsettia card-I'm in love with that poinsettia stamp! It is so beautiful and I love the way you stamped it with the markers. The gold mat and sentiment is the perfect touch to go with poinsettia's. Hammy did a wonderful job of blowing gold paint all over the front, I feel for him though since he now has to eat pureed foods. Poor Hammy! I didn't even know that SU had this stained glass vellum, but it is just beautiful and even more so since you colored it. I love that sentiment banner too as well as that diamond background. Perfection! Ummm, I didn't have any Wodka, but I can see the four large squares with dividing lines. lol Hugs, BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555452421297088756noreply@blogger.com
