Holly Wall


I bet your thought I didn't have a Penny Black card well up till yesterday you would have been right but when I came back from Swimming I had this idea.
I used the Penny Black Wall Cling stamp but I used the 2nd print of it so its faded into the background and I decided on using light green card for the Penny Black Holly die. Originally I was thinking of using white but when I had cut it out it didn't look right with the wall so I popped it in the box with the die to use another day.
Somewhere hidden upstairs are most of Christmas stamp especially some large wooden sentiment stamps that would've have worked a treat as I wanted a large sentiment so I settled on using the Simon Says Stamps Christmas Sentiment Die and added a tiny star gem for the top of the i.
How about this for a following on, Simon Says Stamp has a new release and in my honest opinion they've out done themselves this time. Its called This is The Life and I've already ordered some but there is still on my wish list.

This is an outstanding card, Debby! It seems simple at a glance, but you've added so many interesting details, like the tiny star, that it isn't really so simple after all.
