Holiday Greetings

Hello

Meet today's card.

A very simple CAS holiday card using a new greeting set I just picked up.

I began by masking my card front with some Post-It Tape.  I like the look of a clean, white border.

Next, I placed the masked piece into my Misti, inked up the tree branch with some Evergreen Bough DOX ink, sprayed with water and stamped.  I repeated that process with some Lucky Clover DOX ink right over the first stamping.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it to help make it pop..

To add interest to the background, I then stamped using the PB Script stamp.

I sponged the edges with some Peacock Feathers DOX but it just needed something more.  So, I grabbed the Grunge Dots stencil from A Colorful Life and randomly stenciled in some of the circles.  It added the perfect finishing touch.

Using some red Nuvo Drops, I gave the evergreen branch some red berries and splattered the whole piece with some white acrylic paint.  

I removed the tape and mounted it simply to a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
