Edited to add that this was a winner at
Penny Black Saturday Challenge
I have another Christmas card to share today.
Another UFO with the Winter Berries stamped on vellum.
I loved the image but didn't know what to do with it.
I decided one of those frames left from cutting stitched rectangles would
do well to anchor it down.
is asking for LACE and/or PEARLS
I colored some pearls with a red Sharpie to add a few berries.
(A good way to cover a few smears.)

Hello Bonnie,
Your card looks as delicate as the lace of the Penny Black challenge. It's moving, how hard you came in on the challenge. I love the pearly shine of some berries. Great project and so amazing inspiration, Bonnie. Thank you :-))

This is so pretty! Love the red and white. Your berries on vellum look so delicate. Love the pearls. Very elegant design, my friend! xx
This is such a delicate image, Bonnie. I love the added pearls. I have so many of them that I should use up but sometimes they're difficult to mail.
I had to catch my breath on this one! It is one of the most beautiful Christmas cards for sure. The pearls just added an elegance to an already lovely image.
The vellum gives the branch a beautiful ethereal look. I love the way you framed it and added the random scattering of pearls (perfectly placed! - I'd have been agonizing over where to place each one!).
Love this stamp on the vellum and with the red pearls. Saw this stamp on one of your cards last year and got it and used it a lot especially for Dec. birthdays. Like what you did with it on this card...created a simple and serene feeling.
Simply beautiful Winter Berries stamped image on vellum, Bonnie. I love how you colored your pearls and added for dimension. Your frame was the perfect solution for attaching your vellum. I would love to CASE your beauty. TFS my friend and always inspiring me. Hugs
WOW Bonnie this is soooo beautiful ...Love the contrast of red and white and the stylishly added berries!! Such a perfect card !!! Love it

Gorgeous berry branch, Bonnie!! I'm with you - love a sharpie to enhance certain areas (won't call them boo-boos).
