This week I was working on the Christmas Card Challenge when I saw the Color Challenge for this week was so very close to what I was already doing. So, I changed my green and here it is. I used a strip from the Mistletoe wheel with a strip of red behind it, so when I punch some small holes the red would show through. I used a little bit of chalk on the berries that I did not punch out (too many) and a little bit of chalk on the stems & leaves for a little bit of added depth.

I like the way you punched the mistletoes and laid the red behind. I've done that with abstract designs, but I've never thought to intergrate it with a stamped image like this.

very simple and elegant - I love the idea with punching out the little holes for berries. I was wondering how did you do the berries before I read it ;) Great job!
