Christmas Holly

I have another Christmas card to add to my pile for this year.

 

This one is 5"x5."  I used some teal patterned cardstock from the Peppermint Forest Stack by DCWV for the card base.  In fact, all the patterned cardstock is from that stack.  My next layer is some white cardstock that is 4 3/4"x4 3/4."  I then cut some striped cardstock at 4 5/8"x4 5/8."  I cut some more of the teal cardstock 4 1/4"x4 1/4."  The polka dotted cardstock is cut at 4 1/8"x4 1/8."  I cut more teal cardstock at 3 3/8"x3 3/8."  My final layer is white cardstock cut at 3 1/4"x3 1/4."  I used two different stamps for my sentiment.  I stamped them both in pearlescent  poppy ink by Tsukineko.  I don't know who the stamps are from though.  I added three light green gems under the word "merry."  I used Teresa Collins - December 25th for the holly cut.  I cut it at 3" and used Cricut Craft Room to hide the cuts in the center of the holly and berries.  I used another patterned cardstock for the holly and some gilded red cardstock for the berries.  I used pop-dots to adhere the holly to the card for some added dimension.

I made this for the following challenges:

• 365 Cards: "Day 244" - 5"x5" card, 4 patterned papers, 3 embellishments, 2 stamps, 1 sentiment
• Christmas Card Challenges: pop it up
• 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown: die cuts or punches
• Fantabulous Cricut: polka dots
• Paper Playtime: anything goes
