Kia ora Koutou
Today I have another downunder Christmas card to share with you featuring a nautical theme with a kiwi twist. When I saw the stunning Fair Winds Collection by Dawn Woleslagle at Spellbinders I had to get this set as it was perfect for masculine cards, for the sailing enthusiasts as well as Christmas cards to send overseas. For the Christmas cards I also stamped, coloured and fussy cut some pohutakawa flowers to add a kiwi flavour to the cards I sent overseas. The pohutakawa tree is a New Zealand native tree that blooms with red flowers at Christmas time and is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree. I have also added some background with the Heartfelt Creations Sea Breeze Collection papers and coordinating dies. Of course I had to add some glitter to the flowers and sea to add some sparkle. Watch out for more Christmas cards to come for Christmas in July celebrations.
