I have this lovely Holly outline stamp and decided to go with the traditional Christmas colours - red, green and gold.
- Stamped the holly image in Distress Inks which lend themselves beautifully to watercolour the image drawing the colour from the outline... I did this twice and fussy cut them out.
- Die cut some pine sprigs and watercoloured these with Distress Oxide inks.
- Stamped and gold embossed the sentiment on a white card panel
- Assembled the elements on the card using foam tape
Have a Wonderful Creative month, cheers
