Guest Designing at SCS Fan Club Christmas - June

Hi everyone.  Today I'm excited to be Guest Designing at Splitcoast Stampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge - SCSCCJUN26. :)  I used a new-to-me mistletoe die, cutting twice before watercolouring with distress re-inkers.  I used some Sparkle acrylic paint for the berries.

I used the Geometric Embossing Folder (Penny Black) and cut the panel down to size before layering the mistletoe sprigs over top.  I added pop-dots so the mistletoe had lots of texture and dimension.

The whole panel was popped up over top of my card base, which had been stamped with the sentiment (Banner Sentiments - Penny Black) in red DOX ink.

This is so pretty Loll and coloured beautifully and looks great with that bright red bow to top it off, also the geometric embossing makes a great background and a lovely red sentiment to finish it. x

Great design. Mistletoe is the perfect motif for a Christmas card. I love the added dimension you achieved and the beautifully embossed background panel. The red sentiment complements the green and white of the card perfectly.

I always enjoy the mistletoe toe cards. This is inspired with the gems for the fruit. SO pretty.

I have a die from someone else that has berries and you've given me inspiration to get it out, Loll. Your berries add so much to that mistletoe branch and that fabulous coverplate adds wonderful dimension and texture.
