I stamped and die cut the image and added it to a red frame (PTI's Pierced Feature Frames) and also added an embossed panel behind the frame using SU!'s Winter Snow embossing folder. My sentiment is from Gina K's Holiday Tapestry stamp set and was die cut using Gina K's Master Layouts 3 dies.
To finish I added a bit of WOS to the pine branches and a couple of clear gemstones to the sentiment area and one on the frame. Easy peasy and I might just make a few more while I still have everything out!

Marcia, such a beautiful layout, love the sprig of foliage and berries. They are framed so perfectly with the embossed background and your red die cut frame ♥
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous Christmas card, Marcia! I love how you layered your elements, yet kept your design perfectly CAS...so pretty! I think I 'need' this embossing folder :) xx
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! Love the embossed background behind that lovely die cut. Great layout with the red frame and red bordered sentiment to die everything together with the berries.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Marcia! That snowflake background is wonderful with your wispy sprigs of pine and berries. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteCatching up after a fortnight away from blogland, Marcia (not including Twofer that is!) ... what a lovely way to return! All that snowflake texture-d white space is just delicious with the vibrant, festive red and touches of rich green ... what a beauty! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful framing and embossing behind that wonderful pine branch with the red berries Marcia - love the different fonts on your sentiment too - I like the ones that combine Christmas and New Years wishes!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe I've forgotten this challenge - all of my favorite Christmas set include berries and Winter foliage! But not THIS particular set - oh what a beauty, Marcia! Love all the dimension, and texture you've added - still keeping with the CAS design, of course!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, my friend!

This is fabulous, Marcia! You used the traditional holiday colors so well. I especially love the red thick frame, drawing the eye to the pretty sprig of foliage and berries. The dry embossing texture adds so much interest to the white background. Lovely card, my friend!

Beautiful evergreen sprig with berries, Marcia. Looks so pretty against the texture of the snowflake embossing. That larege red stitched frame is just perfect to showcase your main panel. Gorgeous font on your sentiment that fits perfect in the circle. xx
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, do I love this! That sprig of greens and berries is divine. Love every perfect little detail of this fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully put together, so festive and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought to use a red frame but it looks fabulous with the foliage... Stunning card my friend
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Marcia. Love the red frame and other pops of red.
ReplyDeleteThe red frame draws your eyes into the ever so pretty holly sprig and embossed background. What a wonderful Christmas card Marcia x.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, no surprise that I LOVE your card, we were on the same wavelength with the stamp I think, and I love how you framed it up and added that sentiment with a circle die! I have been doing more of those circle sentiments myself lately! Fabulous card, as always, I am inspired by you! Heart Hugs, Col
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pine bough, Marcia! The embossed background makes a perfect contrast and I love the circle sentiment!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Fabulous design and framing. Love the embossed background and that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Marcia. I love the embossed background behind the berries and that big sentiment bordered in red to match the frame.
