I was reminded to use my Memory Box die of a holly sprig which I bought last year and only used once. I kept the card to one layer with nothing but the holly die and a sentiment stamp like Sue's card. But I changed the orientation, the layout, the stamp, and the overall look.
My cardbase is a Strathmore card blank which already has the green border on the bottom edge so I chose a similar green cs for the holly. The Memento Northern Pine ink was a perfect match for the sentiment. After stamping the sentiment, I went over the little starbursts on the stamp with a gold metallic gelly roll pen and coloured in the border of the Merry Christmas with the same pen. I added little circular red stickers that are edged in gold for the holly berries.
Congratulations, Sue, and enjoy your week as Featured Stamper!

Lovely card! I love making Christmas cards all year and enjoy looking at them too. That die cut is great and I really love the way you edged your elements in gold. Beautiful!
Beautiful, Susan! I LOVE the textured paper you used and the addition of the gold! This made for a very elegant one layer card! Thank you for taking time to CASE one of my cards!
