{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 58 ~ Layered Holly with Fancy Merry Christmas ~ A Colorful Life Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 58 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a vintage style holiday card featuring a couple of great stencils from our wonderful Sponsor, A Colorful Life Designs.

I started by laying down a postage stencil from the Marvelous Masks Postage Stamp Stencil A over a card front of Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink. I then laid the holly leaf stencil overtop of the postage stencil. I used a piece of iCraft Removable Pixie Tape to diagonally mask the other half of the card front and then blended Mowed Lawn Distress Ink over the holly stencil. I replaced the holly for the berry stencil. Also replacing the pixie tape mask and blended Candied Apple Distress Ink. The holly and berries stencils are from the Layered Holly Stencil. 

I removed the stencil and laid the Fancy Merry Christmas Stencil. I again used the pixie tape to mask the card this time covering the holly and berries. I blended Vintage Photo over the whole stencil being more heavy in the center and a lighter touch around the edges. I then blended Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the Merry Christmas sentiment. 

I trimmed the stenciled panel to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to an A2 card base of Dark Chocolate card stock from Papertrey Ink. I finished off the card with a few confetti pieces from the Hologram Red Card Bling.
