Holiday / Winter Card

 Supplies:  Seasons Greetings Collage Digital kit by Hero Arts, 
glossy accents, cardstock - Folia, Envelope Pattern background stamp - Hero Arts, 
copics G21 G28 G29 blender 0 Y000 R37, pop dots, Anita's white A6 card blank, 
barn door distress ink andtea dye distress ink and blending tool.

I have had this card in my head for a few weeks following Jill's wonderful tutorial on partial colouring over on the Penny Black blog. 

I didn't want to use the entire Hero Arts Digital Collage stamp for this card.  I don't own the HA classic holly stamp I decided to just print the holly section, colour it, add glossy accents and do some distressing.
Kept it sentiment free - think I will stamp the greeting inside.

Have you seen the Holiday Card Making posts over on 2peas?  Check them out here.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

    wonderful Deirdre... but how did you manage just to print the holly? I have this collage image and would love to do that.

    Gorgeous Deirdre. The holly looks so beautiful in the subtle glow of the background design.

    This is stunning, Deirdre! I love how you coloured the holly and the way you inked the envelope pattern on the edges makes it glow. Fabulous!
