Holly-days

 Hello!  

I am back with another Christmas card, this time some winter botanicals~

This holly from Sweet n Sassy Stamps is exquisite!  The Holly Christmas Stamp Set has several holly sprigs and some beautiful sentiments, including the one on this card.  The image was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.

The background is on mixed media paper; I inked up the Jumbled Hexies Stencil itself with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and spritzed it with water then laid the stencil, ink side down, onto the paper.  I played around with mixed media paper and watercolor paper and adjusted how much water I used.  I liked the mixed media paper results the best.  I could not wait to get this stencil and it did not disappoint! 

I found a circle die cut in my stash along with a piece of black patterned paper.  I arranged and adhered all of the pieces and then adhered it to a red card base.  A white gel pen and a few sequins finish the card.
