A New Zealand Christmas! The pohutukawa is known as the NZ Christmas tree as it is out in flower now! A sight to see - greyish dark green foliage with bright red fluffy flowers all over, flowering throughout December, while it grows in large gardens it is particularly a beach tree which is why I chose the turquoise background.
A large background stamp with Hero Arts Unicorn ink, a diecut pohutukawa flower (Craft Creations), gold Stickles, and a matte gold strip for sunshine.

I've never heard of this plant but Wow, it's gorgeous. I would love to grow that here in Florida. Your card is so sweet and I like the simplicity of the design. Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and we look forward to seeing more from you soon.
