The new challenge at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has begun. The theme is always ‘anything goes Christmas‘. Here is my card:


Onto a slimline card base I added a strip of embossed card layered with some gold.
The holly leaves from hero Arts were die cut from a previously created mixed media panel. This panel was ink smooshed in a dark green, then a stencil laid on top, some grit paste added, and once dry, I gently brushed some gold wax over the top.
Once these were adhered to the card base, I added some gold facetted gems, and the foiled sentiment.
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations – remember- it’s anything goes Christmas. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Krafty Chicks – anything goes
CYHTP – embossing folder – option leaves
Shopping Our Stash – leaf/leaves

Your card is amazing, I love its simplicity but the texture of the embossing and particularly the embossing paste take it to the next level!
