I sponged the background through a Tim Holtz holly stencil. Then added a text stamp inked up in a pale colour with parts wiped off. I sponged with Antique Linen, going heavier on the edges. I went over the berries with red liquid pearls.
The sentiment is die cut three times - once in red, then twice in scraps of white cs to give it more substance.
I popped the panel up with dimensionals on a green card base.

Awesome card Susan. Love the text background and your stenciled holly ... so pretty. The red pearls give lots of shine and dimension. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers. xx

I love that holly, Susan! The subtle text tamping and sponging on the edges add extra depth and I love the layered die cut sentiment! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday!

Love the dimension on the sentiment. I have never used liquid pearls, but after seeing this I think I need to buy some. I usually use rhinestones and color them with copics to get the colors I want.
