SSS Festive Fun, Peace

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.

Today's card features a couple of new dies from the Festive Fun release: Holly Sprig and Scripty Peace.  Sometimes it's fun to create with just dies, it is often quicker than stamping for me.

I started by adding a light wash of color to a watercolor paper panel. I used a lot of water and just a bit of blue and brown color.  This was set aside to dry.

Next, I die cut Holly Sprig as well as the Scripty Peace sentiment and shadow piece from watercolor cardstock.  These were then lightly watercolored, except for the shadow sentiment piece which was left plain.

Once all my pieces were dry, I adhered the berry pieces to the holly leaves and the sentiment to the shadow piece.

The Holly Sprig was adhered directly to my background panel, although I only added adhesive to the stems/bases of the leaves so that the ends come up a bit for extra dimension.  The sentiment was popped up with foam tape, and I let one of the leaves sit over the top of it to add depth.

The entire panel was then adhered to my card base with foam tape.

Thanks so much for visiting!
