Holly Jolly Christmas Card

    

 This is a cute little card I created using the new American Crafts Be Merry 6x6 paper pad and the new Penny Black Holly Jolly Stamp set. 

 

First I chose the papers from the collection that I wanted to use.

    

Then I chose the image for the card and colored it in with Copic markers.        

I used one of my Spellbinders dies to cut out an oval for the image, and used the same die to cut out a scalloped oval for a mat for the main image.  I added some stitch lines around the main oval for some contrast and also sponged a bit of color onto the main image background for some more color.  I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to color in the snow and snowman for some sparkle.      

I then cut the papers to the size I wanted and added a piece of ribbon from my stash and tied it into a knot.

   

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and cut banner ends into it. I put the sentiment banner on an angle to match the patterned paper and that was it.  

Hope you Enjoy!!!
