I was in need of a super simple looking Christmas card. Not a lot of frills, not a lot of details, just a "to the point" type card. I think I succeeded!!!
I used the pretty Holly from the "Snow Place" set. I colored in the leaves with Garden Green and I dotted on some Mossy Meadow. I colored in the berries with Real Red. I didn't want to use The Cherry Cobbler because I thought the berries would look almost black. Edited: OOPS, I found out today 12-2-15 that the holly is from the "Oh, What Fun" set. Sorry
The words are from the same set and I stamped those using Cherry Cobbler ink.
I cut the Whisper White cardstock to 5" x 3-3/4". I cut the Garden Green cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" and I set those layers on top of a folded half sheet of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
It's quick and simple and super clean looking. To me it looks like it belongs on the inside of a card. Okay, maybe not "belongs" but may go well on the inside of a card. I could always fold the card backwards and make that the inside. Though I think I would like my wording up higher on the inside!! Fine then, it's staying on the outside!!! LOL
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
