So here my offering this week…..
It has been a while since I have used my lovely White Christmas stamp set from the annual catalogue and I knew I wanted to make some holly.
I used the sentiment from Reason for the Season and made some holly with the oval punch and the 1/2″ circle punch. I also embossed the softly falling embossing folder on the back ground, can you see my mistake, I embossed the cardstock upside down so that my snowflakes are not raised but sunken 🙂 I thought it looked pretty cool so left it rather than re-stamping the background again!
I also had my sewing machine out as I was make some napkins from some tea towels so I sewed around the edge of the white cardstock.
And I managed to get a little gloss on the holly buy painting a thin layer of crystal effects on them. I thought it made it look more like holly and lastly the berries are from the seasonal catalogue.
I bet you cannot wait to see what all the other designers have made this week with this colour palette so why don’t you pop on over to the Global Design Challenge Blog to take a look.…..

What a wow Michelle! Love this!!!
Thanks Phyllis, I am so pleased you like it x
I love when a card tells a story – even if the story isn’t mine or yours, it looks like there’s quite a scene here. Love the stitching – so many great details on this gorgeous card.
Perfectly! I love it when sewn on paper. Beautiful card, Michelle.
Michelle beautiful card. Must give this a go. Thank you for sharing x
Thanks chick x
Your card is gorgeous Michelle. I love how the white background pops on the Crumb Cake base. Your holly is also adorable and very clever. The Crystal Effects really makes it shine (if you’ll pardon the pun!). Xo
Very classic and perfect. Love the leaves on the top.
Hugs Tanja
I am always impressed with anyone who sews on their cards Michelle!! I love your beautiful Holly and the great tip about using Crystal Effects to make the leaves glossy. Sadly my White Christmas stamp set hasn’t seen much use this year either, but I want to pull it out and dust it off now thanks to you!
Such a cute scene, Michelle. That will be me this weekend in my little red car.
