The Holly & The Ivy

Hello!  This week at Topflight Stamps, we are focusing on Anything Goes!  I have a Christmas card to share, to add to my stash.  Using Crealies Stitched Rectangle dies, I created a frame for the PaperArtsy - Alison Bomber - Mini 96 stamp.  As I stamped the Mini 96 with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, I had the old Christmas carol "The Holly and The Ivy" playing in my head (Bing Crosby in particular).  So lovely! 

After mounting the song lyrics on the red frame, I stamped some holly leaves and berries from Visible Image Christmas Robin on a scrap of white cardstock. I colored them and fussy cut them, and added to one corner of the lyrics, along with some die cut greenery from my stash.

  1. What an absolutely lovely Christmas card! I've always been struck by this song because holly and ivy are both invasive here. Your holly corner with the framing is so pretty!
