In my opinion, you just can't use enough puns in your stamping, so you can probably understand why I needed the Happy Holly Days (B959) saying. Plus, it pairs really well with the Modern Holly Bird (E1294).
To make the card, I stamped the holly bird onto cream cardstock using Vintage Sepia VersaFine ink. I then outlined the edge of the bird and holly with watercolor pencils and dragged some of the color towards the center of the images using a Dove Blender pen. VersaFine ink really is my favorite when using watercolor! I then added my saying with the same brown ink and layered some Red Pepper and patterned paper from the Dewfrost collection to a Dill notecard. As a finishing touch, I added a few red rhinestones from the Christmas jewel pack to make berries.
