I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches. And since the holiday season is rapidly approaching I decided to keep it simple. I embossed the holly images in white and then water colored them using Distress Inks. I stacked the sentiment letters and put them on a simple vellum banner so the holly would show through - easy and fun to do!
In the meantime I am busy working hard to get this gal used to walking on a leash. She is so full of joy and excitement about everything it is hard to resist that face when she "says" come on let's go for a walk!
I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches! It is a simple wide open sketch so have fun with it! Hope you join us - I love seeing all of your creations!
Stamp Set: Joyful Holly
Ink: Versamark, Distress

Such a pretty card! The clean design is perfect. Love that sweet puppy too...it is hard not to be excited about everything. ;)
I get excited when there is holly AND jolly in one post! Both adorable!

Beautiful card! I love the sketch -- but it took me forever to decide with all that space ha! YOUR PUPPY!!!!
I love the pretty holly leaves and berries and how you used vellum with the sentiment! This was a fun sketch, Linda! Your puppy is adorable, which definitely helps to ease the frustrations of getting that leash on. :)
Gorgeous! I love that pop of red with the pretty holly and the vellum banner is a nice touch!
Love how the red pops with this pretty shade of green! This is delightful, Linda!
I love this card! That holly is something else against the Crumb Cake background. I can't wait to see what Pepper thinks of the snow! Something tells me she's going to love it!
Your holly is definitely 'joyful', Linda! Beautiful watercoloring and your color palette is stunning ~ who knew this shade of green could work so beautifully with Kraft...WOW! xx
PS - Your little pup is adorable!!! xx
This is such a great card Linda! I love the holly and berries! They're so pretty! Love that bright green background paper as well! Thanks for a great sketch! Looks like Miss Pepper has settled in quite nicely!!!!
So pretty. Love the white embossing.
Love the kraft panel for the embossed and colored holly images! Beautiful design, Linda. Thanks for a great design to work with this week.
I love white on kraft and holly and red berries are the perfect pops of color! This is a beautiful design, Linda. Love hearing about Pepper, too.
Love your sketch and love your card! And look at you - all watercolor-y now! You are branching out with all sorts of techniques and I think it's wonderful!
