This is another entry for Teresa's Get Your Diva On challenge, Celebrate the Season, and Viva la Verve's week 3 sketch challenge by Tosh. I wanted to use some Christmas greenery as inspired by the photo so I cut up leaves and small bits from a die-cut using Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish and attached them to a circle base I'd made using two circle Nesties. I colored some small dewdrops red for berries. I love the combo of red and olive, I don't think I've made a Christmas card with anything other than olive for my greenery for years! As I don't have any Verve Christmas stamps yet, I used a sentiment from the set, Kind Words - this is probably one of the most used sets I have, I can't recommend it highly enough!
