Today I'm sharing a card I made with a Sizzix die from the Tim Holtz Alterations collection called "Holly Branch." I used snippets of green cardstock, sponged with chocolate chip and curled around a pencil, and popped them up on foam tape to keep their shape. The branch was cut from a snippet of brown, and the berries were also snippets of red, glittered and covered with Glossy Accents to seal in the glitter. The sentiment is from Northwoods and I colored the holly in with Tombow markers. The card base color is Soft Stone.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Christmas/Holiday theme
Scrapy Land #7 - anything goes using a die they sell in their store (Sizzix Holly Branch die)
Snippets Playground #153 - use snippets
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a wonderful day!!

I love holly so this one is dear to my heart. I very much like the 3D effect you get when you roll items with your pencil. Fun font on your sentiment. Enjoy your day.
