Quilted Thanks

Hello!


This Amaryllis never made it to the front of a Christmas card, but I think it makes a stunning Christmas thank you.   After coloring the image (Penny Black) I cut it out to fit on top of  a die cut piece of red vellum.

I mounted it on a quilt cut card base and added the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.



I think my friend will enjoy the card as much as I am enjoying her gift.

Thanks for stopping by!

How gorgeous! LOve your beautifully colored Amaryllis.
Have you ever grown one? I'm always tempted but have no luck with 'house plants.'

A lovely thank you, indeed! I am trying to embrace my winter-themed supplies as much as possible as it's so hard to transition from Christmas!
