Golden Holly

 I thought I'd have a change from red holly berries today - there is a variety of holly with yellow berries, and it's not a big stretch of the imagination to move from red to gold, so here is my golden-berried holly. 

I used a large holly background stamp from Funstamps -  new to me as it came in my crafting round robin this month. I stamped it on black card with Versamark ink, then brushed the berries with gold mica pearl powder and the leaves with green, spritzed it with water to fix the powders then cut a circle with a stitched edge die. I decided the berries needed more ooomph, so I used liquid pearls to give them dimension. 

The sentiment is stamped with Delicata ink so that it didn't need to be embossed, because by then I  thought there was already enough going on on this CAS card.
