I used the Holly image and stamped and die cut it 3 times, and then also stamped the watering can that is also from The Greetery (Sprinkled With kindness), die cut it, and then added the holly branches to the can.
I added dimensionals behind the watering can and adhered to a panel that I embossed first with SU!'s Subtle embossing folder. The embossed panel and the black panel were both die cut with Gina K's Master Layouts 2 dies. After attaching all the layers to a top folding white card base, I finished my card simply with a little red heart tag from PTI's Tiny Tags set (the "very merry" is also from the Tiny Tags set).
Can't believe I waited SOOOOO LOOOOONG to use this stamp set, but better late than never, right Darnell?!! (Yes, I'll be adding this card over at Darnell's NBUS Challenge too!)
We're looking forward to seeing our gallery filled with all your greens and berries (and remember that berries don't always necessarily need to be red!!) this month! Check out all the BEAUTIFUL inspiration we have for you from the DT and our Special GD Robyn this month right HERE, and then play along with us to get a head start on those Christmas cards! This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Wow, what a fabulous card, Marcia! Gorgeous stamping and I love the little additions you've made, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI commend you for getting it so beautifully inky today, my friend! I'll bet it won't be long before we see them again - so gorgeous in this darling watering can!

Marcia, I love all that you create with The Greetery stamp sets. I have yet to purchase any of them because they all have so many little pieces and I am not good putting them all together. Everyone always makes such pretty cards with them. Gorgeous, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to blow the dust off of that set and ink it up! I love everything tucked into the watering can and the tiny tag (they're the sweetest!). Beautiful card, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteYour holly looks wonderful in the lovely watering can Marcia (I have the can and have never used it! and every time I see it used, I wonder just what I'm waiting for to get it out?!!) A beautiful design for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Marcia! I love how you arranged the Holly branches in the cute watering can, and that you added the organic subtle texture to the background.
ReplyDeleteThe little heart tag is a cherry on top!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun Christmas card! Love the watering can holding the foliage, gorgeous texture in the background too, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI have not ventured into the Greetery product line yet, but it’s a popular choice with this challenge. Your beautiful bouquet in a watering can is so creative... and a refreshingly fun way to stretch the watering can beyond spring and summer. Great card.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Marcia! It's never too late, thank goodness. And your stunning card proves that product can still look fresh and magnificent long after it was first introduced. (Although, cough, 2019 is not that long ago!) I won't be surprised if we see a lot of Christmas holly in watering can designs this year, starting with me because I just love this! Thank you for sharing your wonderful design with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh Marcia this is a really gorgeous card, love that the Christmas foliage/berries are displayed in that cool watering can, Robyn
