I started by embossing in gold Taylored Expressions Seasonal Sprig and then coloring in the berries with my Copics (R24, R37, & R39). Next I used WOS on all the leaves and IRL this card really sparkles and shines between the embossing and the WOS. The sentiment was embossed in gold also and is one of the many sentiments that come with this Seasonal Sprig stamp set.
The DT and our Special GD Kim have a lot of wonderful inspiration for you that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along with us. We can't wait to see the gallery flooded with RED & WHITE creations! Remember that this is a Color Hues challenge, so different shades of red & white are fine and neutrals also. And just FYI...green is NOT a neutral! This challenge is open till Monday, July 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I love the simple coloring on this beautiful card! What a great idea to use WOS on the leaves. Adding elegance, while adding no color at all is brilliant! It is lovely my friend.
I'm sure I'll want to stamp a few of these, Marcia - maybe our Christmas in July gathering?
Your bright and beautiful berries really shine, my friend!

Beautifully done Marcia. Great idea to take the colors in a holiday direction.
Absolute stunning elegance, Marcia! My first thought for these colors was Christmas. Maybe because I have a bunch of it laying on my table. I need to get crackin', too! Wonderful idea to wink the leaves. I know how beautiful it must look in real life. A gorgeous stamp, and the rich Cherry Cobbler frame has a beauty all its own.
Simply elegant Marcia, you and me had the same idea getting a card into the Christmas stash. The gold EP is subtle enough to allow those berries to shine. :)
Those berries look like you could pick them right off the branches, Marcia. I thought they had been Glossed. Simply beautiful!
Smart direction to go with these colors, before we know it Christmas will be upon us. Your berries look good enough to eat. Wonderful elegant card.
Simple and simply fabulous!
Such glorious shine, and a beautiful sprig too! Love this sweet card, Marcia
An elegant sprig embossed in gold and the pretty red berries make a special Christmas card, Marcia! So, so pretty and a good reminder that I need to get busy on Christmas cards!
You've made such a gorgeous card, Marcia! The gold embossing is beautiful paired with the red and white, and I can only imagine how sparkly it is IRL. So pretty!
This is beautiful, Marcia! I love the gold embossing and your shading on the berries is wonderful! What a smart idea to go with a Christmas card!
Beautiful and elegant card Marcia! Love the gold, white and red. So beautiful for Christmas!! xx
This is gorgous Marcia!!! Love the gold, red and white. And yay you! for getting some holiday cards knocked out of the way.
Marcia what a beautiful card! You say simple but each of the berries was coloured by hand then covered with WOS. So many details to make this beauty! I should take your lead and get cracking on my Christmas cards again!
This is so simple, yet so beautifully elegant and quite stunning. I love the way the stem curves to the right and the way the sentiment fits so beautifully on the bottom right. The little white dots look great. Such a beautiful Christmas greeting.
This is beautiful. I love the spot coloring on your card. Perfection.
This is SO pretty embossed in gold Marcia - with the lovely contrast of the bright red berries! Julia xx
