Well, this could be a 'first' of sorts, as I am not normally one to start this early on Christmas cards ... but hey ... I can see where the practice could cause a bit of happiness! Hmmmmm ....
The holly berries were clear rhinestones until I colored them with Copic R89. Tweezers help to keep fingerprint oils off so they don't smear when dry.
Thanks to LuvLee for this week's sketch, and thanks for looking!

Love this gorgeous Christmas card. I really need to get back to thinking Christmas as I have been even challenged to find stamping time in my schedule right now.

Beautiful Christmas card, Bev. Lovely font of your die cut greeting and the soft holly in the bg was a lovely choice. The embossed dots of the olive green adds a wonderful texture.

My goodness! This is a lovely Christmas card! I adore the big 'Merry Christmas' in that beautiful calligraphy. The little scallops border looks fantastic with the swiss dot embossing. Sweet!
