I chose this image because it really appealed to me - not remembering I only had one stamp that features holly in a significant way :) So after a bit of thought about how I could make this stamp look a bit different to the other cards I'd made using it, I came up with this:
Not terribly exciting! I stamped the holly in Green Leaf ink, then overstamped the berries in Lipstick Red ink before fussy cutting it out. I then placed it inside a black die-cut Holiday Frame. I colored the berries with Wink of Stella. And that's it!
Thanks for visiting. Please check out the rest of the design team's cards and I hope you'll have a go at this yourself. This is our last two-week challenge before we go back to weekly challenges.
Products used:
Stamps: Holly Berries (SSS)
Ink: Green Leaf, Lipstick Red (SSS)
Cardstock: White, Black
Accessories: Holiday Frames (SSS), Wink of Stella

Hello Karren: What a lovely, beautiful Christmas card, the sprig of Holly is so beautiful with the red pop of color from the berries. Love your frame, does this die cut the words like that or did you cut them separate? Looks fabulous.
Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
Karren, your card is so eye-catching! I have that die, but haven't used it in a while - you've inspired me to show it some lovin' again! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Gorgeous! I love how you put everything together!!
