I made this using a wiped off background as my starting point and then eventually got round to finishing it off for my design team contribution for Addicted to Stamps and more Christmas challenge! It was nice to get a card made in the midst of my scrapping that I’ve been obsessed with recently!
I used a stencil to create something else but the ink left on it I decided to press onto some scrap and then left it to dry.
Fast forward a few months … I was tidying out a box off the craft shelf and came across these die cut sentiments I had cut from scrap, spotted the piece of wipe up paper and immediately had to make a card!
I decided to add some more holly leaves using stamps from the Christmas Season set but kept to the same Cherry Cobbler red so in keeping with the background.
This gave a subtle two types of holly for the background.
I then stuck the sentiment down (with the & from the More wishes set and then went to town doodling in a very loose way to outline both the panel and the holly leaves.
I added a mount of white and then use some red card stock to make the card blank.
Added three gems to finish off and decided it was a perfectly fun little card and finally used the background I must have started months ago!
Happy crafting!
