Boughs of Holly Tone on Tone Card / Stamping With Melva

Boughs of Holly Tone on Tone Card

Friday, 4 November 2022

Today's card is a quick and easy one using Tone on Tone stamping as a background and some pretty Designer Series Paper from the Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Suite. I made this card on my Tuesday Night Sketch Challenge using this sketch. This is a great sketch for any combination of products!

Now, here's my card. So pretty in Real Red and Shaded Spruce and check out the subtle background stamping of holly leaves. You can use either Versamark or Real Red Ink to create this effect.

Cut Real Red cardstock 4" x 5 1/4".
Stamp holly leaves using Real Red ink or Versamark randomly on Real Red cardstock
Cut 2 pieces of Shaded Spruce cardstock 1 1/2" x 2 1/4"
