Holly Spray

I have a Christmas card to share today, made using a fabulous holly stamp from Woodware called 'Holly Spray'. I started by stamping the sentiment (from the 'Festive Phrases' set by Funky Fossil) in the centre of a piece of watercolour paper, using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it in gold. I then stamped the holly around the edges, again embossing it in gold. I used some pearlescent watercolour paints (from The Works) to watercolour the leaves and berries, then matted it on to some gold mirror card...distressing the edges a little.


The paints are so shimmery:
