Aussie Christmas #2

Hi everyone, Here is the 2nd Aussie Christmas Card I have made, I am entering this card into the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #136, use colours red, green and white.  http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge#136(redgreenwhite)html I used a white cardstock for the base and embossed it with an mpress embossing folder "retro swirls"  and hand cut the leaves and the flowers that I quilled and painted the edges white.   These are Australian Gum Flowers and they flower in December, I hand cut the gum leaves in green and shaded them with Memento Ink Pad "Cottage Ivy"  and the Merry Christmas was cut from the same green as the flowers with a Marianne's Creatable cutting die.  am pretty happy with this one, thanks for visiting!!  I also entering this card into the challenge on Beccysplace,BlogSpot. http://www.beccysplace.com.au

    good to see your card on the Merry Monday challenge - an it's so pretty with that swirly background and those great flowers - and i didn't know that about gum tree flowers - i just remembered a song we sang in girl scouts (girl guides where you live?) - anyway it was about a kookaburra sitting in the old gum tree.

    You should enter this card into the month of holiday cards at Beccy's place. Day 27 is something regional (do something from where you live)

    Your card is fabulous Jasann, it's always great to see something from Down Under! I was very impressed to read that you'd cut the gum leaves yourself, they look wonderful, as do the gum flowers. Being a Brissie girl these gum trees are very familiar to me at Christmastime.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
