I love Christmas, the joyous time we celebrate the birth of our Savior! This week’s challenge is to “be inspired by a song or music.” Going with “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly,” I used Holly Wreath, which has the title of the song! It was a LOT of fussy cutting, and then I shaped it to give it dimension (which you may not see in the photo). But I enjoyed it, and I hope you like it!

Wow--this is so gorgeous, Cheryl! I love the traditional colors & beautiful embossed background to go with the wreath. Thank you so much for the sweet comments you left me.

OMGoodness Cheryl! Grace is right. The dimension you've given by all the fussy cutting and the additional popped up holly leaves (I'm assuming but it looks like it to me) really gives a beautiful full wreath that is colored so well. Wonderful shading on the bow as well. A beautiful card inspired by a beloved Christmas song. Thank you my friend for sharing your talent.

Your fussy cutting has turned this into a work of art, Cheryl! Stunning card! And I would love to know what Copics you used for the holly- for all the green Copics I have, I can never get the 'right' green. YOu are so incredibly talented!
