Reading further through the post, aha! It WAS some brusho work! This is just fabulous, and love the play on words with the imagery and the EP you used. Wonderful old S/B die to trim that border, and I forget about using the oldie goldies from S/B. It's so ultra elegant, just right for the celebratory tipple. Today in MB, it's a lovely mid-80's, with a cool, soft breeze. However SIL thought the humidity was getting too much, so closed up and a/c is on. Merry Christmas to you & DH, with very best wishes for a wonderful, healthy 2017. Hope the freeze holds off until we head back north! Hugs, TFS and many thanks for your encouraging friendship...a blessing indeed.

Your card will put the recipient in a very happy celebration mood for sure. <br /><br />Your green beans look so yummy! Our gardening ended way back in early October. The tomatoes didn't do too well this year but at least we got to enjoy plentiful of the green beans and cucumbers. And I love your Christmas cacti!

I don't think the border gets lost at all, I think it is a wonderful accent piece that doesn't steal focus from your incredible background or fabulous image!! The colours are just amazing, and I do adore that wine glass image. Is it wrong that your card makes me crave some Wildberry Sangria!!! lol. <br /><br />I didn't realize that you grew crops as well, how wonderful is that! Next summer, I should like to see some pics of that!! Your Christmas cacti is just beautiful, love the hot pink colours!<br /><br />We finally got a couple of good frosts and we even had a couple of millimetres of snow, although it didn't last long. I ran quick as a bunny outside to grab some pics! They are saying more snow for Monday night, so keep your fingers crossed that I wake up to a Winter Wonderland Tuesday morning. sending hugs my friend :)Pamelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061174774558907509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-88012058784590722272016-12-10T04:07:59.582-06:002016-12-10T04:07:59.582-06:00Hi again DE.

It is made of a sort of hard 'plastic' and has different sections where you draw around and cut out.
