This is a stenciled design of various types of leaves including holly leaves with red berries. The coloring is done with various shades of Altenew Crisp Dye inks brushed using soft blending brushes.

Love Peace Joy is from a set of metal dies in my stash. They are cut twice-once with green metallic card stock and once from plain white card stock, then glued together to give the words a little more dimension.

For the red berries, well, I have to say that they were not a success. But, this was my first try at doing berries or drops like this. I either used Nuvo or Ranger dark red drops to try to make the berries. I have both products and they are both good, but a person should practice a little to make drops before using them on a card–I didn’t do that so some of mine dripped or splattered or didn’t stay round. I even smeared some when I didn’t watch where I had my hand.
Next time I’ll practice making a few instead of expecting perfect results on my first try.
