Woodware - The Holly and the Ivy

Here we have another take on this sketch

a very simple card

This Clear Magic stamp designed by Francoise is new this year The Holly & the Ivy Tag and has been coloured with brush pens, (takes quite some time) ink the stamp first with a Watermark pad so that is stays wet longer. I have layered it on to some dark green card.

I added the ribbon through the punched hole, and threaded on a bead to hold it without tying

I layered my tag on to paper from the 6 x 6 Perfect Prints Best Gifts of All pad.

For my flag bits at the bottom I wanted to use holly and this is a lovely holly stamp from a very very old set also designed by Francoise Wired For Christmas

Then I added my holly which I have embossed with a mix of copper and Seasonings one of the fantastic Stampendous Frantage powders.

and to finish a reminder of the sketch
