Welcome to our August blog hop! We are using products from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue today and I chose to highlight the Boughs of Holly Suite as well as a really cool half rosette technique!
The card base is Evening Evergreen with a Real Red layer. The half rosette was made by scoring a 3 1/2" x 12" strip of Boughs of Holly 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper at 1/4" inch intervals and then accordion folding it. The frame is cut from our Distressed Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Paper using our Fabulous Frames Dies (which really are fabulous!). I also cut a Real Red Frame for more support for the Distressed Gold frame. They were glued together and mounted with Foam Adhesive Strips. The inside of the Real Red frame was used as the base for the rosette. I glued the rosette on the base and then cut around the base with Paper Snips.
The Real Red circle was cut with our Stylish Shapes Dies (2nd largest circle). The berries are from the Textural Elements wood pieces, coloured with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I added some Wink of Stella to the berries. The Glimmer paper sprigs in Evening Evergreen were cut using the Holly Berry Dies.
The sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly stamp set and is stamped in Real Red and cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies banner. Be sure to hop over to my talented colleagues' blogs to see more projects using the Mini Catalogue products!
