Holly Arch
by Karen Walker

I’m here today with a festive Christmas card featuring the new Evergreen Holly Bundle and a lovely new Christmas die cut sentiment from the Christmas Cheer release. The white arch was cut with the largest of the Nested Globes and added to a card base using the Cherry Red cardstock. Cherry Red is a perfect Christmas red. After die cutting the holly from a pretty green paper in the Greenery Paper Pad, I added some ink blending to the base of the holly leaves.  To arrange the holly around the top of the arch, I need to snip some of the holly branches apart and reassemble them so they would follow the curve of the globe. 

By applying a darker red ink I created an ombre panel with red cardstock from the Blush Paper Pad and then die cut the sentiment. I added it to a vellum shadow layer and then to the white globe. I splattered some gold watercolor paint to create some interest on the white panel. The beautiful new Perky Bow was added to the center of the arch along with some gold berries. Lastly, I added a holly leaf and some berries to accent the sentiment. 

Thanks for visiting us today!
