Clearly Delightful Challenge - Holly

Second post for today - if you are looking for Paper Sundaes post please scroll down.

It's the 5th of the month which means its time for Doodle Pantry new release and another Clearly Delightful Blog Challenge. I used to participate in these challenges almost every month - now I have the honor to show you a card using one of Laurie's new Doodle Pantry images.

Today's challenge is to use a Doodle Pantry image, otherwise anything goes - if you don't have any don't worry - there are several freebies to choose from in Doodle Pantry store. There will be 3 winners and every participant gets a Get well worm set too.

Today I got to create with the new Holly and Juniper set. I used the Holly image, arranged 3 of them together and added a wish from the same set. I colored them with Prismacolor pencils, made a mask using the scalloped oval die and sponged around the greeting. Then I printed some single Holly images - colored and embossed them for extra shine, then popped them up over existing image.

I'm entering it into Cupcake Craft Challenge - get digital

Materials:
Image: Doodle Pantry - Holly and Juniper set
Paper: SU Old Olive CS, DP - BG Wassail
Ink: Antique Linen distress ink, SU Creamy Caramel, Versamark
Other: Prismacolor pencils, sponge, clear EP, velvet ribbon, pearls, button, scrap of lace
