Holly Frame
by Sue McRae

Alcohol Inks, Christmas

Hi everyone! Sue here with my second post for the blog blitz. Today I'm showcasing the Delicate Holly Frame.

This die covers a full A2 card front and can be used as your focal image for the card or how about a fun shaker card? Some of the holly leaves are solid with embossed lines and some have negative pieces that can be poked out. I went for a random look and left some of the negative pieces of the leaves in place, the choice is yours! 

I took glossy paper and coloured it with alcohol inks in different shades of green and then die cut it and adhered it to a gold shimmer card stock.

The sentiment and Fluffy Bows were cut from red sparkle paper and attached to the card.

The blog blitz continues until July 18th so make sure to stop by for each blog post and comment for your chance to win the featured die. The die I'm giving away is the Delicate Holly Frame.

Happy Crafting!
