SimpleHoliday: Shaped Merry Christmas

I had a great time making this shaped card. The background is a page from Basic Grey's "Recess" 6x6 paper pad that was originally an amber brown color. I swirled Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over top to make it pink and then stamped in Worn Lipstick over top of that. The holly leaves are colored in with color pencil, but it is hard to see in the photo.

 

One of the things I liked about this card was that the placement of the stamping didn't need to be too exact in any one place except maybe the sentiment. And I like shaped cards like this one, even though they don't necessarily stand up well.

 

Thanks for looking! :-)
