Merry Monday's Challenge #96 - Use Holly in your card

Well Merry Monday's design team had me searching for a stamp I knew I had, but never used (as Darnell says NBUS).  I can't even tell you when or where I bought it. I don't think the company even exists anymore...that's how old it is!

I used Fresh Asparagus and White card stock from Gina K and SU's Cherry Cobbler card stock.  The wreath stamp is from Imaginations #I827, which I stamped in Tim Holtz "Forest Moss" Distress Ink.  I use a Copics marker #YG97  and TH's "Forest Moss" Distress Marker and colored in the holly leaves.  I used a Sakura Glaze pen (#XPGB #822) and colored in the holly berries.  I then went over the berries with Smooch Glitz #11320 (fire red is what I call it) to add some dazzle.  I used many strands of DMC floss #221 to make the bow and I die cut out the word Joy (from PTI) from some leftover holly designer paper (don't know who manufacturer is because it was in my scrap folder) to finish off my card.

Thanks for stopping by and check out all the great holly cards at Merry Monday's site!
