This year is certainly flying by and I can't believe we've reached Challenge #41 at Christmas Kickstart.
We're in great company as we welcome our new elf, Arlene Rose, to provide the inspiration for our challenge. 
A little gold embossing, an embossing folder and a sweet die cut = job done!
Our theme is Festive Florals, and I have to admit that I thought I'd feel waaaaaay out of my comfort zone for this one. I rarely use floral images as I'm not great at colouring the flowers and foliage, or designing an attractive layout. However, I got around this problem with this gorgeous stamp set from Mama Elephant called Pine and Posy.
My second card also features images from the same set.
As always, Rudolph has been shopping and has got a lovely prize for this challenge:
Remember, everyone who enters goes 'into the hat' for Rudolph's Random Raffle, so why not come and join the fun!

Lovely cards. Yes the subtle embossing is lovely, way to think outside the box. (pun intended) Everyone has things they like and some they don't, colouring to me is meditation. Love both your cards, use of the florals is lovely, great design on both.
Both so elegant and gorgeous!!
Love the white and gold!
Love both of these cards! Way to get around coloring images, and kudos for using cardboard to emboss!
To beautiful - and floral! - cards, Jo! So pretty with the subtle colours. And wow, I haven't DIYed my own embossing folder for years! Thanks for the reminder!
Your cards are gorgeous Jo, particularly love the first one just so classy!!
Two beauties with that Pine & Posy set, Jo! Just love all the white with the neutrals!!
Stunning cards Jo. Love the subtle embossing you did on the white on white one. It's perfect.
Love your cards Jo, the colour palette is so subtly yet elegant!

Love the first card. Beautiful idea to have the florals split to both ends and a beautiful middley bit too. Hugz
Clever and effective. Two classy festive floral cards.
