Wishing you a Holly Jolly Christmas


Christmas wreaths are the theme for this months CAS Christmas challenge... so I put my mojo into gear today and have made this card.   First I dry embossed a large white card with a holly EF.  I used a holly sprig die to cut four branches from dark green metallic paper and formed them into a ring...then die cut some different sized red glittery berries....tricky part was getting to all stay in place while I glued them down.  I cut a square white card to attach my panel and to finish stamped my sentiment and framed it with red card and used foam tape to hold it in position.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend.

  3. CAS but oh so full of texture and depth Robyn...this is absolutely STUNNING!! I thought your wreath was all one die cut, but after reading your post and seeing that you had to glue 4 of the die cuts down to form the wreath...well kudos to you as I'm sure that must have been a real trick! Your embossed background is so pretty, and just love all the different size red glittery berries. Truly a lovely, lovely card Robyn!! :0)

  7. Wow, this is stunning, Robyn! I love the delicate embossing in the background and the sparkly wreath and berries! I thought you used a wreath die, but you actually formed the 4 holly sprig die-cuts into a ring! Fantastic job! Thank you for sharing this beauty at CAS Christmas!
