Xmas Holly



It is Day 5 of the 10th Annual Christmas in July challenge at Catch The Bug.
Today we have been challenged to make us laugh.


I love the sentiment from the Stella Santa Died Laughing set from Bugaboo Stamps and have teamed it with an image Xmas Holly from Stamper's Delights. The image really reminds me of Kylie Minogue singing Santa Baby. It will be a perfect card for my very stylish Sister in Law.

I have coloured the image with Promarkers and pencils for shading on the hair. I have fussy cut around the image as I wanted her to really stand out against the background which is an embossing folder called Confetti Burst by Crafter's Companion. This has been embossed on some white core card and I sanded it back to reveal the pattern.

I added a sequin trim onto the bottom edge of the dress. You need sparkly sequins on your Christmas dress afterall. I added some sequins and gems ono the background to make the sparkles really pop. When I saw this embossing folder this is the type of effect I could envisage and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Finally the sentiment was trimmed and cut with a corner rounding punch and then added onto a scrap of gold card. No patterned paper required which is very unusual for me.....

    A great card! The colouring is so perfect I thought it was a printed image. I love what you've done with the embossing folder - the bling really sets it off.
