Holly Jolly Layers PCC#013

Hello, welcome to my blog.  For my share today I decided to play along with Pootles' Colour Challenge #PCC013.  The colors for this challenge are Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Emerald Envy and Mint Macaron.

I love using a challenge to get my creative juices flowing so for this card I used the Hostess set called Holly Jolly Layers for the front of the card and Holly Berry Happiness for the inside.  (can you tell that I like holly, LOL) I embossed my base with the Pine Bough Textured folder, which is beautiful.  I had not used it yet so thought it was time to break it in.  I layered some This Christmas dsp onto strips of Chocolate Chip card stock to create interest on the left side of the card.  I stamped my greeting twice, once in Cherry Cobbler and then again in Emerald Envy, onto Very Vanilla card stock.  I used the 1 1/4" circle punch to punch out the center of the Emerald Envy one, and the layering circles Framelits to cut out the Cherry Cobbler.  The Mint Macaron circle was cut from the layering circles as well.  I used some dimensionals to pop up the Holly in the center of the greeting and then added some clear wink of stella to the leaves.  To make my berries red, I used the 1/16" handheld circle punch on some Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I then used some tombo glue to add to my Holly.  For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip.  For the solid image of the Holly I used Mint Macaron and for the outline image I used Emerald Envy.  I am really pleased with how it all came together.  Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it.   Below is my supply list for your convenience.
