The challenge this week at Merry Monday is holly. Stamped Hero Arts Holly Jolly on Neenah metallic white gold card and colored with my Zig Clean Color Brush markers, using just a bit of water to blend.

I die cut "christmas" from Ellen Hutson's "Merry & Bright" twice from white card and then from the stamped area. Adhered all three layers together and inlaid it back into the card. The base is also Neenah metallic white gold. Stamped "wishes" on the inside of the card and added a few champagne pearls (wanted to give those berries a little highlight and the dot on the "i" was just too tiny to inlay) from Michael's - done.
Will also enter this in Happy Little Stampers challenge which is coloring and Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge which is holly.
