SC311.....Merry Christmas Holly

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the
sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I haven't played over there in quite some time and I am making a point to do it more.

I loved this sketch, and again I am still making some Christmas cards. I started the card with a base of Crumb cake card stock. I followed that with some very vanilla and the DS paper is from the Deck the Halls paper pack. I stamped the image from the Bells & Boughs stamp set onto very vanilla card stock with black stazon ink. I colored it in with always artichoke and cherry cobbler ink using my aqua painter. I added some crystal effects to the berries to make them shine. I splattered the image with some early espresso ink that I watered down a splattered on with my aqua painter.

The sentiment comes from the A Cardinal Christmas stamp set and I had cut the ends and created a wavy effect by rolling it around a marker. I attached it to the image panel with some foam tape in the middle and glue on the ends I added some always artichoke seam binding ribbon and made a bow. Finally I finished it off with some rusty jingle bells I had in my stash and tied it to the bow with some twine.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!
