This uses a new-to-me embossing folder (3D Berries Abound - Penny Black), with matching stencils (3D Berries Abound Layers - Penny Black). I dry embossed my card stock and then placed the stencils overtop, one at a time, and sponged with Distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany, Gathered Twigs). To add a bit of detail, I used a fine paint brush with Rustic Wilderness ink to go over the lines of embossing on the leaves.
I cut the panel to size, and added Crystal Effects over the berries, leaving it to dry overnight. I added the panel to my card base and stamped the sentiment (Believe - Penny Black) to finish.

Beautiful Christmas card Loll, Love the shiny berries. The EF and stencils work together really well with your lovely design.
Such beautiful leaves and glossy berries Loll, and I love the white highlights on them too...a fabulous Christmas make, and I love the red stamped sentiment too. x
WOW! Amazing! You've coloured that berry branch wonderfully. In the last photo you've perfectly captured the incredible shine of the fruit. A beautiful winter card, my dear Loll.

Loll, this is one of my all-time favorite PB sets! You've made such a lovely and bright Christmas card!
