So far today, the weather is quite cool so I'm going to try and get some cards completed and uploaded. I have quite a few that I am still working on.
I'm not sure that I got the "fantasy" part of this challenge but this Victorian image appealed to me. Growing up the lily that I knew as a Christmas Lily was a red/pink and white variety called Lily Regale. When I moved to the North Island of the country, the Christmas Lily is a white lily (which might be called White Heaven but I can't be certain of that). Considering we are a small country, it is surprising that there are two different lilies that are thought of as Christmas Lily. I am not entirely certain whether it is different between the islands or just the region that I live in now does it's own thing.
I would like to enter:

The digital paper, image and sentiment are all from Gecko Galz. I added some self adhesive vintage "lace" and also some pearls. I kept the colour scheme to the Christmas Lily colours of my childhood.
A beautiful card Suze! Between the colours you used and the image you chose, you've managed to represent both Christmas lilies from New Zealand. Well done.

A great result Suze - I have only ever known the White lily as the Christmas Lily (I am a North Islander)..
