Xmas cards

Gee I've done very well this year, all my xmas cards are made and sent out.  I even tried out a new flower to put on each one.  I made a number of cards all being similar, but none the same.
 
What do you think of this lovely poinsettia?? Isn't it wonderful, and so easy to make too.  I learnt how to make this on one of the blogs I follow religiously.  Go and visit the lovely Vicki where she has a link to the easy instructions.  The only alteration I made from the instructions was I actually hot glued each petal to the next petal, I feel it just gives the whole flower a bit more stability.

 
Everything has been hot glued in place, so I hope its all strong enough to survive the post. 
I am entering these cards in the Xmas card challenge at Artfull Crafts and I'm sure I'll find others to enter as well.
Thank you for visiting, and if you are one of the recipients, I hope it reaches you safely and all in one piece.
