Greetings! Today’s card uses the new Layered Holly Berry Wreath from A Colorful Life Designs. This is a 6×9 stencil that has the foliage on one half and the berries on the other, so you don’t need to do any masking! It is so easy to make a quick card with this stencil.

On a piece of Kraft cardstock. I pushed the wreath over to the left, and let it hang off the edge a bit. I inked it up with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxides. Then I inked up the berries with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide. I knew you wouldn’t really see this layer once I was done with the card, but it was helpful to get the berry color down so I knew exactly where to place my Card Bling later. I splattered the panel with Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz from Imagine.
My sentiment is from the Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous Bold Tidings Mini stamp set. I stamped it with Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink and then heat embossed it with Clear Bark embossing powder from Stampendous. I also used Pinecone to ink the perimeter of my card base. Last, I grabbed the Hologram Red Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs and adhered a sequin to each of the berries on the wreath with On Point Glue from Imagine.
I love how the bold berries shine and the wreath is so matte. It’s got the rustic elegance thing happening, which is perhaps my favorite style for Christmas cards.
