HLS Christmas and Muse Christmas Visions.

When I saw this card of Loll's I remembered my holly die and made a card for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge.  


The die is from PB, double cut to give it some depth and colored with Distress Ink.  The embossed border is from Darice and I just wish it was meant for an A2 card.  The measurements are just a little off.  PTI provided the sentiment, stamped in silver.  I love this so much I may have to make a few more.

ETA: I'm also going to sent this to Muse Christmas Visions where Ingrid Blackburn made
this card for our inspiration.



Thanks for dropping by,

So elegant, Bobby ... your colouring is gorgeous ... the shading on those leaves and berries makes it seem I could just pick this holly sprig out from my screen! Been meaning to say ... love your new signature here! Hugs, Anita :)

Hey, you got a new blog look! I likie! I'm sorry it took me a few days to get here, but I didn't forget! Your creation with the holly die ~ and especially your coloring! ~ is genius, Bobby! The "little off" is not at all noticeable as that holly demands all the attention and adoration of the viewer!! I'm pinning it! Thank you for coming to see me often and for your prayers for Kevin, even though I haven't been able to visit you! Mwah! Darnell
