Layered Holly Berry Wreath

Good Morning

Meet the new 

Layered Holly Berry Wreath

from A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card

• I placed the wreath part of the Layered Holly Berry Wreath stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I wanted to add more variation to the colour so I also added some Rustic Wilderness, Lucky Clover and a hint of Uncharted Mariner DOX ink in random places as well.
• I splattered the wreath with my white Posca pen to add a snowy effect.
• I lifted the stencil off, cleaned it and then repositioned the top part of the stencil (the berries) over the wreath and inked with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink. 
• To give the berries more texture and shine, I covered them with some Glossy Accents then set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I embossed a piece of dark red cardstock with the burlap EB folder and I cut the sentiment from the same red cardstock and glued it onto the die cut white shadow.
• I glued the red embossed panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then a piece of dark green, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• After I fussy cut out the wreath, I added it over the embossed panel with some foam tape to pop it up.
• I used some more foam tape to pop the sentiment under the wreath.

Here is the stencil I used:
