I've had mojo trouble recently. Isn't it always the way when you're not at work? Just wait until next week when we're back at school - the inspiration will no doubt return when I'm meant to be marking and preparing lesson plans!
Anyway, this card took a while to finish because I couldn't get the embellies right.
I used some non-Christmas paper from Maja Designs but I think it works quite well. I cut the layers with my Go Kreate dies and then managed to break my Grand Calibur (like, properly break it, beyond repair). The image is from the new Lili of the Valley Christmas release and she's absolutely my favourite. She's been coloured with Copics and has had a good sprinkling of Glamour Dust.
I wanted to keep things fairly simple so after trying and not liking the flowers I stuck on, I picked them off (as you do) and made some poinsettias with a Doohickey die and Maja paper instead. I'm still not convinced - maybe I should have kept the whole thing plain but I needed to hide the glue from the first lot of flowers!
I'm going to enter this in the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley Ideas to Inspire Challenge - Make It Festive
Lili's Little Fairies - Christmas in August
Deep Ocean Challenges - Christmas in July
Well, the housework calls, although I keep trying to ignore it.

I love this Tracey. Stunning card.
Are you sure your GC is broken beyond repair - my friend thought that and returned it and it's fixed now!

PS also ignoring housework.
I think the flowers you've used look fine. Isn't it always a joy when we second guess ourselves AFTER we've glued it down. LOL It's beautiful Tracey. Hugs!
