This card is actually a Mother’s Day card, but the color combo makes it look sort of like a Christmas card. Oh well, here it is:
The things I made on this card: The red crochet doily behind the Quinn Flourish, The crochet flowers and the red and white design on the to rectangle panels. For the panels, I used Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Believe/Dream/Peace Designer Block Prints . I ADORE these stamps for BG images. There are four stamps included in the set that make pretty backgrounds.
Here is a close-up of the doily, heart with pearls and rose, and Quinn flourish. If you are wondering about the label, it is Spellbinders Labels Eighteen with a Spellbinders Floral Doily Motif embossed into the center.
I don’t know. I like the design, but do you think it looks too much like Christmas?

Hi
Thank you very much for the lovely comment you left on my blog about one of my Valentine's cards. Your own creations are stunning!

What a beautiful card for Mother! I love all of your hand-crocheted elements and those vivid red colors! So sorry you're missing your son :( It's so hard to be a Mom sometimes.
So glad you heard from your son, Ellen! That must warm your heart enough to carry you for a little while. :)
I think a red Mom's Day card is fine. There's a woman I know from Splitcoaststampers who LOOOVES red, so there have got to be more like her!
This card is really beautiful, and I like how it pops right off the screen. Like your crocheted elements too, every time I see one, I go get my crochet hook...it inspires me to try...but sadly haven't managed to complete any crochet lately...
I don't think you can go wrong with a cheery red card - I think its great all year round. Love your crocheted doily. So glad that you heard from your son!
I'm sure you are very happy you heard from your son, Ellen! Your card is very lovely with all the red! Red is one of my favorite colors! Gorgeous crocheted elements, too! Take care!!:))
I don't think it looks Christmasy at all, it's very pretty! I just love your hand made flowers, they are so pretty! waving hi from the beautiful hills of North Carolina :)
This is AMAZING, Ellen!!! :) Can't wait to get my pretty little flowers. :) And the doilies...I think I may need to order some of them. Email me details? ;) LOVE this--gorgeous details!!! :)
Really stunning card. I love the use of the deep red, so very pretty. Thanks so much for playing along with Stamp School!
Nope doesn't look like Christmas to me! Great job with the colors~ Thanks for joining in at Stamp School!
