This week at Jingle Belles we're celebrating holiday foliage … specifically, the Holly and the Ivy … but you can also throw in some mistletoe or some poinsettias (which Lauren so kindly reminds, also come in PINK).
I started with a piece of velvet holly paper from SEI's Winter Song Collection for my card base. Next I started perching glittery cardinal stickers on the branches, and then added some green holly leaves stickers as well. Our family is filled with St. Louis Cardinal fans, so I have lots of possible recipients in mind for this one.
I finished with a chipboard sticker and border sticker. Since I wanted my border stocker to overlap the edge of my card … and didn't want it to stick to everything else … I used some corn starch to de-stickify the back & then used super-strong double-sided tape to attach just the bottom of the scallops to my card base.
So show us your best holiday foliage creations … and mark another holiday card off your list. The keyword for uploading at SCS or flickr is JB13; inlinkz closes at 6pm (EST) on wednesday, march 30th.
WOW…simply divine…love the velvet holly paper!
you might want to make more so no family fights break out over this beauty!!!
Beautiful card!! My grandma absolutely loved red cardinals so I always try and make some Christmas cards that incorporate them as a tribute to her. She would have LOVED this card also! I do have to say boo St. Louis, and go Red Sox :0) hehehe
I love the combination of the cardinals and holly. So beautiful.
