Christmas in July

I wanted to get a head start on making my Christmas cards and I've been trying to come up with a design that I liked. Monday I think I found what I want to do. This will be the basic layout the patterned paper may or may not change. Some may have this paper and some may have something else. That I haven't decided yet. I suppose it will depend on how much I have.

Here's a close-up of the poinsettia. This is a free Cut file from Ginacreates.com


I added a little more character to it by inking the edges and making the vein lines in the pedals
Next I just need to decide how I want to stamp this.
I think I'm also going to add  a ribbon to break up that large white space. As for the stamping I may use one of the above or go with something completely different.

I'm playing "catchup" commenting and just wanted to let you know that I think you have the start of an awesome Christmas card here. I love Poinsettia and your design looks great. I think the sentiment would work well with this.
