Hello! Today I am excited to share my first card as a member of A Colorful Life Designs design team. They make absolutely amazing stencils that I love creating with! My card uses the newly released, Layered Holly Wreath Stencil.
I started out with an A2 (4.25x5.5") sized Neenah Solar White cardstock panel. I then applied Pixie Spray to the 1st stencil layer, holly leaves. I secured it over my cardstock in my desired position and spread the supper buttery Black Tie stencil butter over it. I carefully removed the stencil, cleaned it with soapy water and waited for it to dry before repeating the exact same procedure for the 2nd stencil layer, the berries. I used Champagne gold for the berries.

Once the gold berries were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4.21x 5.46" and adhered it to a black cardstock panel measuring 4.23x5.48".

I then die cut my Happy Christmas words from gold cardstock using just the scripty die from Simon Says Stamp's, Happy Christmas Shadow die set.

My last step was to adhere the gold words over top of the wreath and then adhere the panel onto a white A2 sized cards base.
