I didn't think I'd have time for this month's Blog Hop, but I managed to fit it in. And I really didn't want to make another Christmas card, but I still have all my Christmas stuff out so it was easier than trying to come up with another idea. This is the picture Nichole posted for us to use as inspiration:
On True Black cardstock I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Snow ink. The holly leaves were stamped in Vintage Jadeite on white cardstock and fussy cut...I don't have the dies for this set yet because they keep selling out! I placed the leaves on foam tape for dimension and added the berries, die-cut in Pure Poppy felt. I also used a bit of coarse glitter on the holly leaves.
Because the plates in the picture had a white border/design on them, I drew the lines and dots around the edges of the panel. To give it more of a chalkboard look, I took my dauber and dabbed a little bit of white ink all over the panel to make it seem like chalk dust.
I placed it on a Vintage Jadeite cardstock card base. I think the black, white, red and green colors are so pretty together!
