I really love this sketch from the Midnight Madness this week and the theme is Winter Wonderland. http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
I used a digital image called Holly Berry from McMahon Five Designs, http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/ This is a wonderful store with so much to love.
I stamped my holly berry image twice, watercolored, cut out, glittered the holly leaves and berries with Dazzling Diamonds. Popped them up with dimensionals. I made a border for the inside with a Martha Stewart holly border punch.
Used some matching paper from a pad I bought at Hobby Lobby with lots of glitter on it.
Stamped a small sentiment from SU, sponged, and it's finished!

WOW Benzi...this is beautiful! Love the sparkliness of this beauty! Such a great idea to do the holly in white...really looks like they are covered in snow......fabulous against the red holly berries! Great job with the sketch this week.

WOW! I really love what you did with the Holly Berry Digi! It's colored so softly and pretty! I love how you doubled it up and it looks fantastic with the MM sketch!
I have gotten behind in updating the Idea Gallery but I am working on it right now! So this fantastic creation will be added this week! Thank you so much for using the image and making such a beautiful Christmas card! Your cards always put a smile on my face!
