Hi there and welcome back to my blog! Today I have a card for the Holly and Ivy Challenge, which is always anything goes!
I found a Sizzix holly embossing folder and stamp set, which I don't ever remember using! Anyway, I dry embossed the embossing folder and then inked on top of the raised side with the stamp. I placed it in the Stamp Platform, just so if I needed to, I could restamp, but I didn't.
I stamped with Versafine Shady Lane ink and heat embossed with Sparkle embossing powder.
It has a great look! I then layered on to the same color of card base. I found a scrap of another shade of green which I die cut the two little holly sprigs from.
To compliment the red of the berries, I decided to do the sentiment in red, and then used the EK Success self adhesive gems as the holly berries.
A red ribbon was attached to the top to finish off my card for the day.
Till next time!

A beautiful card in lovely traditional festive colours- the stamped background looks lovely with the added sparkly embossing, the gems make great berries.
