I’ll have a blue Christmas without you
I’ll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me
And when the blue snowflakes start falling
That’s when those blue memories start calling
You’ll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I’ll have a blue Christmas
I’ll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me
And when the blue snowflakes start falling
That’s when those blue memories start calling
You’ll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I’ll have a blue Christmas
This card was suppose to be for a challenge at SCS that my friend Sue hosted on VSN. The challenge was to make a "Blue" Christmas card. Well, I started out with good intentions, but the rules are you only have 45 minutes to make the card. This card took on a life of it's own and is way more than a 45 minute card-so I never posted it. But I do love it!!I used Stormy Sky's Distress ink on all my embellishments and lots of glitter. The poinsettia were cut from vellum and Tilda's coat has polar white flower soft.
Here is how I decorated the inside of my card. So I am having a "Blue" Christmas. I would love to have a "Blue" Christmas one year. I think a white tree with blue ornaments would be an awesome decorative touch. When I used to Manage The Heritage Bank in St. Marys Georgia, I decorated the bank with blue Poinsettia and ornaments on the tree. Our bank logo feature blue as the main color so I took the idea from that. It was really pretty.Challenges Entered:

All of those blues are amazing, Carol!! Yeah, I can see how that card took more than 45 minutes. I can't imagine you ever spending less than that on a card!! Your lovely creations always have so many fantastic details. I could look at them for hours!! This one is definitely sweet--those blue frosted trees are magnificent. Thanks for the eye candy!

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for joining us at Dream Valley. xx
Absolutely fabulous, Carol! I love blue for Christmas, although I don't use it for decorating. Oh, but that would be gorgeous and may have to try it on my slim tree next year. But, of course, that would mean buying all new decorations. Want to contribute to that fund? LOL

I'll bet the bank never looked prettier, when you were decorating for them. :)
This is a great frosty card, loving all those touches of sparkle, and little details like the blue jingle bells and silvery cord on the snowflakes. I bought that Himalayan punch because of you, but mine don't look quite as fancy as yours do! LOL
