I used a kraft card base. In my on-going struggle to use up some of my stash of dp, I found a perfect piece of dp to go with kraft cs. I cut a panel out of it and then cut an oval out of the centre, creating a frame for my holly die cut.
The die cut was cut from a piece of mixed media cs that I'd sprinkled and spritzed with olive green brushos. Once die cut, I realized it was too pale and sponged over it with Distress Forest Moss ink. I cut two more and glued them together to give it substance and dimension. I put some tiny bits of foam tape under some of the holly leaves to give it varied dimension, and set it inside the frame (that I'd popped up on foam tape).
I added red pearls to the holly berries with a Viva Decor pearl pen.

Gorgeous! Love the holly patterned paper frame - it is perfect with your diecut branches and is handsome against the kraft card base. Popping this into my favs! TFS

Just gorgeous, Susan! I love the way your die-cut branch 'matches' the DP you used for the oval frame!
