I die cut the wreath and sentiment from pearlised card.  The holly and poinsettias were die cut from pearlescent and mirror card.  I adore these Tim Holtz dies in particular as they look so luxurious.  

I added lots of berries onto the wreath die using Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Simples, back soon x

2024 Christmas #6 Stencilled Christmas . . .

Once I lightly stencilled onto the card with Distress ink I went back over the card with Red Cadmium watercolour paint.  Once dry I filled in the white areas with Yellow Cadmium watercolour paint.  I then die cut the wreath, Holly leaves and poinsettia leaves from coloured card.  I die cut the poinsettia from white card and coloured it with the same watercolour paints.  

Recently I located a box full of old Craftwork Cards Candi embellishments and I decided to use some to simulate large holly berries on this card and to finish I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to add smaller holly berries.  Back soon x
