Hello....
Ok, so when was the last time you saw a pastel Holiday card?!?
Playing in a challenge at Simon Says Stamp Flickr with this one.
Watercolor paper was stamped and heat embossed with the holly branches, then QOR watercolors in pastel hues were added.
A little ribbon and double mat were added for more pastel goodness.
I based my card on this card inspiration from CASE-ing Christmas:
I love the flourish background which I achieved with my Holly branches, and the wrapped ribbon.
