CCMC735 – Leaves of Holly

Hello!  It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  We have a wonderful Sketch to inspire us this week!

LEAVES OF HOLLY

The Boughs of Holly Designer Paper does most of the work on this card!  I love the patterns and rich Christmas colors!

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• Two patterns from the Boughs of Holly Designer Paper were cut 2-1/2 x 4-3/4 and adhered overlapping on top of the base card.
• A 1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Evening Evergreen c/s was adhered on top.
• One of the single poinsettias in the Boughs of Holly DSP was hand-cut and added towards the left with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Leaves of Holly stamp set was stamped with Real Red Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Holly Berry Dies, then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Three small gold Seasonal Sequins were added to the center of the poinsettia.

 

LOVE how this turned out!  Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
