Holly Crown

I have a Christmas card to share today...using some more snippets of My Mind's Eye '29th Street Market' papers that rediscovered at the weekend. I loved these papers...and at one time had loads of them, but that was several years ago now (they've long been discontinued) and now I have just a few snippets left. I paired them with a cute Penny Black cat (from the 'Christmas Critters' set) to make a Christmas card. I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. I cut some holly leaves from some snippets of dark green card using one of the dies from the Tim Holtz 'Holiday Greens, Mini' set for Sizzix, then added them behind the image. The little adhesive pearls are from Hobbycraft.

    This is lovely - the holly leaves to echo the cat's crown are a super idea
