One more Christmas card and I hope I'm done! Also needed a card for my A Blog Named Hero post today.
I used an older Hero Arts holly set for my card, but this one would also work well. I stamped the holly with black ink and colored with alcohol markers - fussy cut it. Then used the same stamp to make a background using Versamark ink and clear heat embossing. The sentiment was done the same way so it's all a shiny background. Cut down the panel to 5x3.75", backed with fun foam and added to a soft grey base. Adhered the holly and a few red enamel dots for berries and done!
A new challenge begins tomorrow at A Blog Named Hero - be sure to check it out!!
I am entering my card in the Happy Little Stampers December CAS challenge - emboss.
