Christmas Card - Basket of Holly - Anthony's Paper Craft

Hello everyone!  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - at least those that celebrate the holiday.  I do miss Thanksgiving and all the smells that go along with it.  Although Thanksgiving is not a Brasilian holiday, Ruy and I did make a small turkey with some sides and we enjoyed a nice meal.     

It's a bit hot here and I am trying to get into the holiday spirit.  So I pulled out some Christmas and Chanukah stamp sets from Anthony's Paper Craft to play with.  For today's card, I used the holly in a basket image from Christmas Set 1 to make a more traditional but super simple card.   

I started by adhering a piece of "Tis The Season" (CMR9487) from PhotoPlay's Christmas Memories Collection, to the front of my top-folding A2 card base.  I also stamped the holly in the basket image using Jet Black Amalgam Ink (Gina K. Designs) on a piece of white cardstock and cut it out using a stitched rectangle die.  I also cut a piece of white fun foam to fit behind the image.  

I colored the basket of holly using Ultra Fine Tip BIC Markers (my fav).  Then I adhered the white cardstock to the fun foam and then to the card front.  And I adhered a few red sequins.  

Next, I cut the word Noel from a die I have using red cardstock.  I cut the word 4 times and then glued them together and adhered it next to the image.

The last thing I did was to apply some Firefly and Christmas Red Stickles to the image to give some shimmer.  

I hope you enjoyed this simple card.  Sometimes simple is nice to make and this is a very fast card to make too.  Enjoy your day and your Black Friday shopping if you are doing any!  Until next time - 

Hugs from Brasil -
