I'm having so much fun creating Christmas designs:

Wow! I am having so much fun creating Christmas designs.  Here is a Holly flourish I just finished.  I created this to put next to a verse inside of a card.  You can put it on a mat or choose to just use it without the mat.  As you can see, I am using a black mat under the gold holly flourish.  It looks good either way.  I also just finished my cutaway card.  This is a silhouette of Spruce Trees against a snowy night. You can use anything you want as the background.  I chose snow.  However they sell paper with gold flecks on it and that would be great too.  You can also choose whatever color you want to use.  Most people probably will not like the black like I do.
