A Vintage Blue and White Victorian Christmas Card - Joan's Gardens #JG1206

I love Joan's Gardens! The contests (when I have time to take part in them) really gets my creative juices flowing. This week's contest requires you to use something oval, use an embossing folder, make a blue and white card and add a ribbon (maybe a bow). Blue is one of my absolute all time favorite colors, and I love it paired with white. But for a Christmas card? I would have never thought to associate these colors with Christmas.... but as the card came together, I started liking it more and more. Can you find the bow? It is tucked in among the poinsettias ....

Cardstock: Stampin Up Whisper White and ??? (does anyone know the c
Spellbinders Ovals, and Layered Poinsettia dies
Martha Stewart punch: Holly Leaves

Noticed you other beautiful cards on your blog. Love what you did with the flowers and I love the Martha Stewart Holly Leave punch. Wonder if it is still available. I come from Colorado and lived in Denver back in the 70s. Was just there 2 years ago for a wedding in Golden. Love your clematis flowers on your blog.

Thinking of You!

Welcome to my garden of paper petals. Nothing makes happier than giving a card to someone who treasures it. A friend of mine loves the color purple, so for her birthday, I made her a card with a large purple mum as the center, with light colored purple daisies, some dark purple flowers for depth, and some baby's breath as filler. My friend just loved the card, and has it showcased in a shadow box from Michael's. She couldn't wait to show me what she had done. Imagine my surprise when I walked into her family room, and there on the wall was my card hanging up on the wall. It looks beautiful! I hope you all enjoy it!

Victorian Garden with Purple Clematis

This is a card that I made using more of a garden theme with the white trellis from Cheery Lynn (available at Joan's Gardens), and the beautiful Celtic heart (also from Cheery Lynn, and available at Joans Gardens) in the center symbolizing love. My dad grew purple clematis in our yard when I was growing up, and I always thought they were magical. Now when I look at them, I remember my dad with much love. Unfortunately you can't see the shading in the middle of these petals, it is a subtle shade of violet.
