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!
