Another Christmas Card to share today. The beginning inspiration started with a color challenge from Just Us Girls, using Purple, Olive and Navy, along with the Sketch Saturday Challenge.
The stamp set, papers and inks are from Close to my Heart. The stamps are a hostess only stamp set called Sing Glory.
I used and Anna Griffin Embossing folder and then added green and purple glitter to the embossed Holly and berries. and also to the stamped holly.
The paper pack used is Yuletide Carol.
