***I thought I was being so clever using one of my Christmas Willow Tree angels for my photo, but after looking at it now...the size proportion of the angel to the card is waaaaaay off! Oh well, it is what it is!
I stamped and stenciled the floral arch and then die cut it out before attaching it to my smaller card base. (I did remember to measure how far to extend my die cut piece so it would still fit in an A2 size envelope.) I used SU!'s Soft Succulent cs for the card base and a strip of Evening Evergreen that I embossed with Altenew's Organic Linen ef to follow Jen's sketch. Next I stamped and die cut the center arch from The Greetery's Arched Holiday Set, and then embossed in gold and die cut the coordinating JOY sentiment.
A few gold pearls (PFS) and this fun fold card was finished and I have one more completed Christmas card for the stash. YAY!!
There is so much BEAUTIFUL inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along if you have time!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

What a gorgeous take on the sketch. This card is stunning! The colors you chose are perfect. I like how the floral arch rises above the top edge of the card. Just beautiful, my friend!
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful card! I love the way your arch extends above the card top and the pretty colors you used. Marvelous card, Marcia!
So gorgeous, Marcia!!!
Absolutely stunning! Cindy H.
I'm so honored to think I inspired this gorgeous card - even more beautiful IRL with that dainty JOY die cut! I love the colors you've layered while stenciling, Marcia! Thanks so much for playing cards with us!

SO lovely. That Greetery set is one I am fond of and need to reach for more often.
Oh, my word, this is too gorgeous! You and Michele and FMS are bringing back the tent card style beautifully! This Arched Holiday is simply breathtaking, but it's largely because of your expert stenciling, the colors, and the gold. I didn't think about the size of the angel until you mentioned it, but now I can't unsee how tiny it makes your card look. However, it does not detract one bit from the beauty!
Beautiful Christmas card Marcia. I love how you used to sketch to make it and those lovely stenciled flowers. TFS
WOW! This is so elegant, Marcia! I love the rich red flowers and the arched sentiment with the gold JOY! Another beautiful Christmas card for your stash, my friend!
Gorgeous card Marcia. The arch of flowers is so delicately beautiful. Amazing stenciled flowers ... the colours just pop against the lovely blue card base. xx
I love this Floral Arch bundle and you've used it beautifully here, Marcia! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches
What an absolutely gorgeous interpretation of the sketch, Marcia! Your design and color choices are brilliant.
