CCC Challenge 2 Holly & Ivy

Good Morning Everyone.  Hopefully you are all managing to get back to some sort of normality now after the busy Festive Season.  January is a very busy month for me with lots of different engagements now filling my diary. I have been invited to sing at  a Burns Supper something I have not done for years, so hopefully all goes well on the night. My Gaelic singing group has also started again so you can see I'm keeping myself busy, well my vocal chords anyway.
Our challenge this time has been chosen by our lovely Elizabeth and she would like to see Holly & Ivy on our cards. My card is an 8x8 card mainly because it was on my desk. I layered up some dark green card with holly paper before stamping my Inkylicious stamp using Versafine Smokey Grey for the wall and DI Pine Needles for the Ivy. The sentiment was a freebie with a magazine. Die cut Holly and Mistletoe to finish off my card. Hope you all have a Good Week.  Hugs Rita xxx

It does seem to take time to 'recover' from the festivities I find but great to see you've made a start on cards ready for the next round. Lovely card which fits the brief very well.

Hello Rita, what a gorgeous card, it's a beautiful stamp and your leaves are stunning.
It's good to get back to normal, and Choral has started back too, so it's good to get back singing. Would love to hear you singing at the Burn's Supper, what will you sing? Hope all's well, hugs Kate x
