Merry Monday Challenge #73

The Merry Monday Challenge this week is to use kraft, red and green on your card. Here's my card for this challenge.


I stamped my Holly image and sentiment with VersaMark ink on kraft CS, embossed both with detail white embossing powder, then colored the holly with my Copics. I like the look this technique gives. The top half of this panel is embossed with the CB snowflake folder. Red gingham ribbon, a star button, bakers twine and a red layer were added before attaching it to the main kraft card base.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time,
shelia

    Hi Sheila. Your white embossed holly just pops off the kraft card front. Love the gingham ribbon with the star embellishment - so sweet! Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday! Loll

    Your card really caught my eye over on Merry Monday's blog. I just had to pop over to your blog to see if the holly was embossed or if it was a rub on. I love cards with mixed dry embossing with powder embossing.

    This is just gorgeous Sheila! I love the texture on the dry embossing and the white embossing on the holly. That little button on the red ribbon is just perfect. Love it.

    Saw your lovely card at Merry Monday and had to take a closer look. Love your card. The white embossing on the kraft looks so nice and your coloring of the holly sets it off. Nice touch to just emboss the top half also. .
