This is my sample for CC872. Jeanne is our hostess and she chose just jade, fresh freesia, soft seafoam and misty moonlight for her color combo. Dessert option this week is anything goes. I am using jewels. Although I am not happy with the way they photographed. IRL they are so pretty and sparkly.
Anyway, I used the Forever Fern stamp set and a template to create a Christmas wreath. It's stamped in the just jade ink. I stamped and die cut the poinsettia in fresh freesia, die cut leaves in soft seafoam and di cut other greenery in just jade and misty moonlight cardstocks. They are from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and matching dies.
My sentiment is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and it's stamped in misty moonlight ink. I finished off my card by adding the fresh freesia jewels. That's my card.
I hope you can play along with us. I loved these colors once I started working with them.

Gorgeous Christmas wreath in the challenge colors. Love your vision on this design. The die-cuts and stamping are terrific. The gems are so pretty. I can imagine the dazzling sparkle IRL. Wonderful card.

How creative to use this week's colors for a Christmas card. I adore the wreath you created and the perfect placement of the elements, Very pretty poinsettia and leaves. Lovely card!

Mary, this is such a beautiful holiday card using these colors. I really love your stamped fern wreath with the sequins. The softness of the jade color on the white background adds interest but allows your beautiful non traditional colored poinsettia and foliage arrangement to be the star of the card. Stunning!
