Back at the holiday cards again. I decided to make more of a muted vintage look for this card just to do something a little different than the brighter colors I usually use.
I can't believe I stamped on crumb cake - I never do that, but I felt it kept the card more muted to do so. I stamped the holly leaf and sentiment on the nestie mat, colored with copics, added some tiny red adhesive bling for the berries and used crystal effects on the whole image. I think it showed up on this photo unlike the last one I did.
Added some crochet ribbon given to me by someon, but I can't remember who - SORRY! The holly leaf border punch was punched and then sent to me by my nemesis, Benzi, cuz I'm so jealous of all her stamps, punches and nesties. I begged for her to send me some and she did - Thanks OL Benz! Next time, be a pal and send me the punch too!!!!! You just can't please some people! Added a poinsettia to which I added bling - shocker, I know! Popped up the main image panel on dimensionals.
Thanks so much for taking a look and I'm still working in Santa's shop to get my cards done; but, then when will I ever find time to mail them????
PT: 2 (Plus Da Benz'z Border Punch - but she punched it, so it doesn't count)

Wowzers, Pamzi I just love this! Using Crumb Cake for the main image was inspired, and all of the other colors that you chose are perfect. Your coloring is wonderful and the CE is a beautiful touch. Love your punched elements and that pretty trim. Simply beautiful, my friend!
