I think I managed to get all the challenge colors on my card along with some silver embossing and baubles.
I started by stamping and Copic coloring the large holly image. The leaves have lots of intricate little shapes to them, so it was a bit of a challenge to color them. I love the bright cluster of red berries and when the coloring was complete, I used Glossy Accents to give them a nice shine. While the Glossy Accents dried, I went to work on the remainder of the card.
The sentiment was silver heat embossed on some Midnight Green card stock, then I used the matching die to cut it out. I went through my patterned paper stash and found the green plaid paper, which I cut into a one-inch strip. The main panel was trimmed down, then the patterned paper added along with two thin strips of silver paper. After the panel was adhered to the card base, the sentiment was added with thin foam squares and the final touch was to add a few silver baubles.
