Hello everyone! Thank you for beautiful Birthday wishes, it really melts my heart during this difficult time when I was spending Christmas and New Year’s eve apart from my family. 

For this week’s inspiration I prepared a card with blue Poinsettia flowers. I was playing with the beautiful Countryside Cottage Collection and arranging winter composition.
