Leaves and Berries, Candles, and Joy by Anne Thompson

Today's card features the LEAVES AND BERRIES CS2084 corner cling stamp, the MERRY AND BRIGHT CANDLES 94812, and BELLO JOY 94763. I hadn't stamped and colored anything recently and this image was calling me.

to make this card

I started with a white A2 horizontal note card with the fold on the lefthand side.

I inked up the LEAVES AND BERRIES CS2084 stamp using VersaFine Clair Shady Lane ink and stamped the image in the upper left corner. I used several red colored pencils (Scarlet Red and Crimson Red) for the berries and a Grass Green for the holly leaves.

I die cut the MERRY AND BRIGHT CANDLES 94812 from white card stock and colored the candle pieces using the same red pencils and I used Yellow Ochre and Canary pencils for the flames. I assembled the candles and added them to the lower right front of the note card.

I used a scrap of paper from the YULETIDE CHEER PP1032 pad to die cut the BELLO JOY 94763 background and white card stock for the detailed letters which I glued onto the red paper. I added this sentiment in the lower left on the card front.
