\nI love this holly set and I love coloring it. I think it would also look terrific done with watercolors. Or make a background using a solid color ink and leave it uncolored. All you need is this one stamp set with its coordinating dies, a few basic shaped dies and some markers to color it.<\/em><\/span>

\nFor the Featured Stamper Challenge, FS969, it is the 5th Sunday so we are revisiting the Featured Stampers from the first half of 2008- (FS48-FS70). I chose my friend Laura who was FS60 & also one of the first people I met on Splitcoast back in 2007!. I’m also happy to see she uploaded a couple of cards this year. I chose THIS<\/a><\/em><\/span> card to case. I kept the layout & image down the side, but I used different images, dies, colors & made mine a Christmas card.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTo make my holly card, I die cut a white panel with the largest plain rectangle die, and a square with one of the medium size stitch dot square dies. The square green layer was cut with a plain square. The white panel was stamped twice with the holly image, going over the side edge & colored. I stamped, colored & die cut a separate holly but trimmed off the lower half of it to pop up on top of the square. The greeting was die cut & added to the smallest of the swanky oval. I also moved the end of this die in about half an inch & cut only 1 side to shorten it a bit. The squares, the little holly on top & the greeting were all popped up one more layer.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHere are the Copics I used: (if you wonder about the B93 & BV23, they were used to underpaint the shaded areas in the berries & leaves, respectively. The B02 was used on some areas of the leaves, as was the Y02.)
