I am really enjoying this Peaceful Season stamp set! It's a Level 2 Hostess Gift and it has so many possiblilities!
I used the holly today to do a card for the CAS challenge over on SCS. It was a sketch challenge of this card .
I know it's early for Christmas cards and I hope you won't tire of seeing Christmas too soon. With so many cards to make, I feel like I need to get an early start. Even then, I'll probably not be ready on time. I'll try to fit in something else once in awhile.
This card was pretty quick and easy. I inked the stamp with markers and stamped it on a Natural White card base then used the markers to add some veins in the leaves and darken the berries a bit. I masked the holly and stamped a few more leaves to fill it out. I love the way this stamps because it makes it look frosty without adding any glitter.
By the way, thanks for all the positive comments about my very glittery card. I'm glad I posted it and didn't trash it because it seems that many of you enjoyed it!
A clear block works well as a guide for the lines. Unfortunately, I didn't have a block the right size, so I had to carefully slide it over as I drew.
