Today it’s time for a video sharing some Christmas Amaryllis Inspiration! And this is part of a new exciting release from Ellen Hutson so if you are hopping along to celebrate you should have arrived here from SHARON’s wonderful blog.
I have two cards and a video today starting with bright colourful stamped sentiment background using the Retro Holiday Greetings Stamp Set.
And did you see the little elf peeking out at you, he’s from the Holiday Characters Stamp Set.
My second card is very bright and busy so get your sunglasses on lol. Now, you know I love anything Mondo from Ellen Hutson and the new Mondo Amaryllis is no exception….. sigh…..
I added some bold stripes to a watercolour background using the Painted Stripes Stamp Set and some Obsidian Pigment Ink. I have a video sharing how this card came together.
And you can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Those flowers are gorgeous!
I did spy the little elf – he is too cute! love the background stamping on that one too 😉
Therese, LOVE both of your cards!
Your cards are fab! I really love the color palette you used for the amaryllis card.
I love how you created the background for the elf card and how hes just peeking into the card. And the Amaryllis card is spectacular, background, flowers, all of it. I watched your video on it at lunch yesterday. I dont normally do hops but I for a chance to win the whole release, I’ll do it. But I did start at the end, cause your my fav.😉
Beautiful background on your Amaryllis card. I also like how you cut off part of the elf’s face and placed it at the edge.
I was just thinking that I should start creating some Christmas cards and look what I found. I especially love the Amaryllis card and though I don’t use Copics, it could be watercolored with the same set as the background. Thanks for the inspiration!
The elf is so cute & there are so many scenes you could use it in. Your Amaryllis card is a first place prize winner Therese! I adore the colours you used & the wide black stripes in the background give a boldness on which the beautiful Amaryllis sits. Glorious!
Your amaryllis card is simply beautiful, but I really love how you used all the sentiments to create such a fun background! Brilliant!
Me again. Just finished the hop and wanted to come vack to you again to say how wonderful your cards are.
That little elf against the bright, fun sentiment background is so cute, Therese … and your amaryllis is stunning … it’s bold, dramatic, striking … and so beautiful! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Beautiful cards and I love the little elf. So fun. The flowers are amazing and I love the colors you used! Great job.
Love your cards! Your elf card reminds me of “Elf on the Shelf” which would be a great card for kids for Christmas. And the Mondo Amarylis is gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration! 😀
Your cards look great! I love the cute little elf peeking from the bottom of the card, and your coloring of the flowers is beautiful. 🙂
