although the basic cs looks purplish in the scan, all edging is dark navy. the main holly image is embossed in navy on garden green cs. i colored the border and swirls with a gold gel pen. i used a stampamajig to break up the sentiment. not having any red brads, i embossed them in red.

Gosh Deb, this is gorgeous. These are my favorite Christmas colors! I used the Garden Green and Navy last year (with the silver cs) and I fell in love right then with Garden Green!! Your layout with the layered rectangles really makes this -- and to thing only one small stamp!! I also love this holly stamp, I used it a lot with the brads last year for gift tags. I just love this and will have to case for some of my cards this year so I can use my favorite colors again (and stamp) -- ty for the idea!!

Beautiful green and gold and those red brad holly berries! Love the way you stamped the greeting--very innovative! The navy really sets it all off nicely.
