Holly Background

It has been a few weeks since  I  posted.  I don't know where the time has gone and it seems like there is not enough time to work on my crafts.  So, I do as much as I can. 

I am currently taking the Holiday Card Workshop class that Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner are teaching and it is lots of fun.  I never seem to get many cards done during these classes, but I was determened to make at least one Christmas card.

This card was inspired by Julie Ebersole in todays (October 31, 2012) class.  I stamped the background with clear embossing ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  The center image is from the embossing folder by hero arts and Sizzix (Holly Background 657769).  I embossed the image using a thicker piece of white cardstock and then I colored the image in a randomly fashion with copic markers.  Than I went over the image with Picket Fence Distress Stain.  When this was dry, I attached a scalloped oval to my image and attached it to the background.  I wanted to add a sentiment, but felt that there was not enough room to do so, so I will add a sentiment later on the inside of the card.  For the finishing touch I added pearls.

This was very easy to do and was lots of fun.  Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate the comments.
