Holly Christmas Card

As soon as I saw the Holly Sprig stamps I thought they would make fab swags with the little bows from the Remountable Corners and Flourishes Set.


The base card is cut with a Spellbinders Grand Labels Eleven die. To give it a vintage look I brushed the edges of the cream card with some Tea Dye Distress Ink.  

I used the flatter of the two holly stamps to go around the base card and the more curved one to make the swags. The holly is stamped in Olympia Green Versafine and the bows and berries are coloured in with a red Sakura Glaze pen. This gives them a lovely sheen.


I used foam pads on the music to really make it stand out.

It's a very simple card but it was one of my favourites from this month. I hope you like it too.
