Of all the trees that are in the wood...

"...Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown"

Those nice people over on the Something Completely Different challenge blog have a new challenge out for November, here it is:

So, its November...and a new challenge....this month we are changing the rules slightly. For this month each theme will be a colour and subject theme....we are hoping to help you get ready for Christmas by making Cards!...and this weeks theme and colour has been chosen by the very talented Dawn and she has chosen.....

HOLLY AND THE IVY - USING THE COLOURS, GREEN, RED AND GOLD

This was a simple card to make, I won the Holly stamp from Gez in a charity auction so it was an obvious choice for this challenge, I stamped the image with Dazzle Versamark in Champagne and embossed with Chinese Red embossing powder (it's sort of red and gold), then I used Ranger 'Worn Lipstick' Distress ink blended with a bit of sponge round the edge, a blast of Irridescent Gold Glimmer Mist, mount the image on gold card add a green ribbon and a pin featuring red, green and gold beads.

    That holly stamp really is fab - good job I was handling the bids or I'd have been competing with you for that one! Beautiful card, love the beaded pin as a finishing touch!

    Wow, what a beautiful card! I love the three-dimenisonality you've added with the bow and its beaded pin, and the gorgeous blending work you've done to the background to make the holly stamp stand out. Bravo!
