Red, Green with gold or silver is the colour theme of this week's Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge and there is a great prize for one lucky winner of this challenge from Fred, She Said Designs.

Merry Christmas - Pinecones

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges' challenge this week is to create a Christmas card with nature in mind.  Lots of different cards come to mind such as poinsettias, pines, holly and Christmas trees.  I chose to use our sponsor Fred She Said Designs' pine cone spray for my card.  Fred has a great assortment of nature inspired digital stamps and is offering a great prize for one lucky winner.  

Once I had arranged my images on the page the way I wanted I used evergreen distress ink to colour part of the card then added some Copic Markers on the pin needles and pine cones.  I then embossed a Merry Christmas in gold embossing powered and flicked some white acrylic paint to represent snow on the scene.  To complete the card I added some bling and layered the image over gold paper.

Come join us this week at Holly Jolly. Thank you for stopping to take a look.
