Welcome to week 5 of the Heart of Christmas. This week I have a Boughs of Holly card for you that with a brush metallic card stock and your Cut & Emboss folder you are good to go!

So for my card today, I have used an Evening Evergreen card base and with the Brushed Metallic Cardstock in gold I have layered that under the Boughs of Holly DSP.

I decided I wanted to make a wreath so I took out the Holly outline dies from the Holly Berry Dies and cut them out in the Gold Brushed Metallic Cardstock and just adhered them with a little liquid glue on the stem end so they sat up a bit.

Under each holly leaf I cut out a copper brushed metallic cardstock pine needles. Here you can see I used a strip of the gorgeous Boughs of Holly DSP on the inside of my card to decorate.

In the centre of the card I have adhered the sentiment Peace & Joy that I have heat embossed in gold and fussy cut and tagged out with my papersnips. I put a double mini dimenional under them to give them a bit of height because of the holly leaves. Under the sentiment I have frayed some Shimmer Ribbon and of course we need a little bling so a little red and gold pearls from the Red and Green adhesive-backed pearls to finish off the card.

    Beautiful card Sharon. I love the way you have used the gold holly leaves to create a wreath. The flagged sentiment is great in the centre of the wreath too. Xxx

    I love your beautiful wreath card Sharon. I have looked at that piece of DSP a number of times and thought it rather dull. The inclusion of the brushed metallic gold really makes it shine. Very clever.

    What a great idea to use those lovely holly leaves in a wreath formation, Sharon. So pretty with the darker DSP behind it, great design!
