Has become THIS... but no flowers....will have to think how to remedy this for next year... Either A... they need more light during the year....(totally possible) or B I'm not letting them be dormant long enough .... Either way it will be fun to make some adjustments and see what happens... but bummer...
I painted each one individually so they are all a little different and unique... i did some gold embossing..
Used a wood inspired scrapbook paper for the background......
This was waaay more involved than last years triangle Christmas trees..lol! so .. i should have started waaay earlier .. but apparently i can't produce unless i'm under pressure... lol go figure.. So maybe it got a little tedious near the end but really i enjoyed it. I probably ended up doing about a 12-15 cards.. It was fun to see how i loosened up as i went along... i found i was willing to add more colors a ,especially in the bulb... and just be more experimental..
OMGosh! So do they light up? Very nice painting on the ceramics. I remember when that was all the rage and I made up a whole bunch of plant pots, a few figurines, and a ton of Christmas ornaments. Really was fun!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to grow an Amaryllis bulb, and I have no clue how to get anything to bloom. My Christmas cactus only had three blooms and that was it. Too dark down here for it, I think.
Those are absolutely beautiful hand-painted cards! You are so talented. Anyways, Merry Christmas, Deb!
Your cards are beautiful-I love mine-hugs.
ReplyDeleteDo you have your amaryllis bulbs in a dark place? they need to be dark and not watered for at least 6 months. I bring mine in before the frost in sept. once dried out I cover them with a paper bag-will usually begin sprouting again early spring around March sometimes end of febr. then I start watering them again
I called the post office today-said I know you can't track my postcards but after 17 days no one has gotten one of my Christmas postcards-is their an issue with postcards? she apoligized and said packages are missing and the people above them do not tell them what is going on. I am very unhappy that they did not deliver my cards-sigh
are you ready for Christmas?
Your card is just beautiful and Mr. and Mrs. C. are so charming.
