Recently I purchased a European craft magazine and it contained a free small scroll shaped Christmas Tree die. I really couldn't resist that temptation, since I just LOVE dies. So, I designed a card and used the tree as the focal point.
That little tree is really darling and since I used DP that had holly in it, I used my Holly Dies from Heartfelt Creations to fashion a holly sprig. I also used two Spellbinders dies, the oval shape and the Oval Crown. I used a hand punch to punch out those berries and I used a MS twig punch to make the branches for the holly.The CS I used with the Crown Oval die is a very glittery leftover piece after I cut a card for a friend.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
- A Gem of a Challenge - #107 Sparkles
