Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
There's a couple of days left to join in at CAS Mix Up where we're using
an Emboss Resist Technique.
I've stamped the music from the Penny Black Footnotes set and
heat embossed in white before sponging Distress Oxide ink over top.
I die cut the holly from watercolor paper and colored with a waterbrush and
smooshed ink. When I was done painting the leaves, I pressed them into the
watery ink left on my palette.
When the die cut was completely dry, I pressed it into my VersaMark pad
then heat embossed with clear powder for a shiny look.
Challenge ends August 24
also joining in again at
Anything goes with the option of music
I used the option this time

Fabulous card, Bonnie! The partial emboss resist music makes a perfect background - lets the card still be CAS. Love the holly sprig with the varied shades of green.
I like the music with the pretty holly sprig! Wonderful card, Bonnie!
Lovely way to use the emboss resist, festive card.
Love your Emboss Resist music notes for a bit of background for your beautiful die cut and watercolored PB holly, Bonnie. So pretty and I am sure shiny with the heat embossed holly over your watercolored layer. TFS my friend and joining us again at CAS Mix Up Emboss Resist. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Beautiful effect with the emboss resist music and that wonderful sprig of holly ♥

This is gorgeous, I love the technique you used. All of it so lovely.
Beautiful card Bonnie.really classy and I bet the holly really shines.
Beautiful!!. I love emboss/resist technique with the music stamp, very pretty. Those holly leaves look great too.
You had me at 'holly days', Bonnie. lol The holly leaves are perfect and I love them with the music.
This is soooo pretty, Bonnie! The combination of softly sponged white-embossed music and the watercolored holly is a perfect balance. Love the glossy die cut. One of my favorite Christmas cards this year!
Wow! The rich saturated colors of those leaves really make this one fantastic! I am tempted to get those dies after seeing this. Gorgeous card especially with your emboss resist music background,. Beautifully designed!
I love how the music emerges from the background, Bonnie! Great use of the emboss resist technique. The visual texture of the watercolored holly is fantastic!

What a beautiful card Bonnie. I love how you did the music notes with the emboss resist and the Holly leaves just couldn't be any prettier!! Lovely, lovely card!! Hugs. :0)
Love the effect of the ink over the embossed music. It adds a very special touch to your card. So sorry to have missed a few of our posts. I have looked at all the lovely cards but don't have time to comment on them all. I am trying to catch up now xx
Beautiful holly card Bonnie! Love the music in the background. Now I've got the "have a holly, jolly Christmas" in my head. :) xx
Beautiful Christmas card. Brilliant to use the emboss resist technique on the background. Perfect shine in the holly.
What a fabulous card Bonnie and love the look of the watercoloured holly and berries and then the added smooshing just give a bit more of a textured lookto the leaves and love the white highlights and the final coating of gloss over the whole thing, and the background music notes embossed and some coordinating green ink added over the top really completes that wonderful look. x
I love this card Bonnie. The emboss music showing through in the background gives a nice soft look and those holly leaves look amazing!
This is just so pretty. The musical notes show up so well with that soft color over them and I just put this holly branch in my want list. I love that texture on the leaves.
What a gorgeous design! So perfect! Thanks for sharing over at PBSC:)
Great idea how to bring out music from the background! Such an amazing effect! love these holly twig, it really makes this card!
