Holly Background
Good Evening!
I have another background design for your Christmas crafting, this time it’s a Holly background. There are 2 layers, the front outline which can be used on its own or with the backing layer. The backing layer fills in the Holly leaves with green card or vellum, however it also fills in the berry areas so it’s the perfect excuse to break out some red embellishments :)
I cut my Holly backgrounds at 5.75 inches to layer perfectly onto my 6 inch card, I used textured card for my front layer and vellum for the back layer. I added some spots of wet glue then stuck the 2 layers together, as I used vellum I placed 3d foam pads behind the berry areas to hide them and adhered my panel to my card. I coloured some 6mm pearls with a red Copic marker and added them to my background avoiding the area that my sentiment was covering, well, why waste pearls? ;) I used this font for my pun sentiment and cut a banner shape for it to sit on, I wrapped a piece of twine around the banner before adding it to my card with more 3d foam pads. This was an easy card to put together but I think it looks really fun and festive!

Thanks for sharing this file! It’s beautiful. Clever idea using to files to make it look embossed! I did buy an embossing tool for my Silhouette, but have never used it. What did we ever do before Copic Markers? I always buy white embellishments now and color my own, too! Hugs!!!!

Thank you Bird! I really like this because the Holly leaves look like they are embossed due to the two layers. :-)
