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.
