This gorgeous Vintage image is from a Debbi Moore Vintage Christmas CD which I printed onto white cs then added some red glitter to all the holly berries. This main image is up on mounts (dimensionals). The 2 x Vintage corners are also up on mounts.
Because I LOVE lots of texture on my cards, I ran my designer paper thru my CB using the Holly Berries ef - although you can't really tell now that the ribbon covers it - oh well; such is life LOL! I ran the burgundy cs underneath the Holly border thru my CB too using the Textile ef. I did run the cs thru twice as the square of cs was bigger than the ef.
Each layer including the image and sentiment panel have been aged quite heavily with Antique Linen Distress Ink and a seasponge.
The sentiment was stamped with Burgundy pigment ink and heat-embossed. To do the holly on the sentiment panel, I punched a scrap of dark olive cs with the Holly corner punch, then used my small curved-blade scissors to cut a little section off and neaten up the curves/stems to make it look better. I punched some tiny circles for the berries from burgundy cs and added some red glitter to them.
The gorgeous 1-1/4" wide silk ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.
