Today's card features a lovely holly stamp by Woodware Stamps called 'Holly Spray'. I stamped it around the edge of a square of black card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it using 'Metallic Gold Rich' embossing powder by WOW. I added one of the sentiments from the 'Festive Phrases' set by Funky Fossil in the centre, again embossing it in gold, then used Cosmic Shimmers pigments (in 'Bright Holly' & 'Christmas Red') to watercolour the holly. I matted the panel on to gold mirror card, then on to a white card blank.
It's super sparkly and shiny in real life...so a real pain to get a decent photo of, but here's another angle:
