By the time I was old enough to help with crafting them, you could find factory-made corsages with shiny, plastic, holly leaves and tiny, metallic, tree ornaments for very reasonable prices and after that, the dining table remained craft free. My mom still made up holly bouquets in fancy vases for the dining table but to my mind, it just wasn't the same.
Colors inspired by Color Dare board.
Colored w/ ProMarkers
Glossy Accents added to leaves for shine

You have done a beautiful job on coloring this image. We have lost so much over the years with some of the traditions that one once had time to do. It is a great pity.

That's a lovely image - think I will have to add that to my collection! Isn't it a shame that some 'traditional' customs have now gone by the wayside?
Lovely card...
