Good Morning! I need to work on some Christmas stuff this week so I thought I'd get started with a card. It's really hard to get in a Christmas mood when the heat index is 105. After stamping the Holly and cutting the oval shape I crinkled the image and distressed it. The picture is horrible but it looks cool IRL :)
I used the 3-Step Holly & Mistletoe set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. The paper is BG Figgy Pudding. Ink colors are Mellow Moss,Artichoke,Handsome Hunter,Caramel, Riding Hood Red.
