Yes, it took awhile to color all those flowers and leaves on the Ornate Garden DSP but I listened to music and it was SO enjoyable!
There is gold foil on the DSP (patterned paper) and the Blends (alcohol markers) will get on it but use your Color Lifter to go over the gold foil and the marker color will be removed.
The tucked in trees from Perfectly Plaid were an after-thought. The space looked too empty and I thought, "Hmmm, I love tucking and layering so let's try the trees" and I liked it! I also like Merry Merlot and Just Jade together!
Thanks for looking!

I agree with you, I really like these two colors in combination as well, they really look great. Those trees tucked in add neat dimension and texture. That flowered background is really elegant especially with the gold elements. So very beautiful.

I'm with Cathy - it's never to early for Christmas cards! Love those slightly non traditional versions of Christmas red and green. The layering looks fabulous!

I like your tucking and layering also. It didn't dawn on me that you had colored all those flowers until I read your description. It is very enjoyable though if you're not pressed for time. Just relax and enjoy. Beautiful card!
