Don't you just love it when an image is SO big it takes up the whole front of the card?!! Bobby sent this image already die cut, so I just water colored it using my Aqua Painter and ink from the inside lids of my stamp pads (SU!). I used Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler.
My background is a new SU! embossing folder Old World Paper and I love the vintage look it gives this card. I finished with a black mat and white card base, and also some copper cording and little star tag (PTI - Tiny Tags). Very CAS and I just love the way it turned out!
I'm sharing this card with the June Rudolph Days Challenge where it's Anything Goes Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I love that background, Marcia. It looks perfect behind the beautifully painted holly and the little tag was a great way to add a sentiment. I'll have to remember that.
