For this week's card I stepped away from traditional Christmas colours and used a favourite combination of Gold and Night of Navy with the Leaves of Holly Bundles.

I cut three of the holly leaves and the two berry pieces from the Gold sheets from the Rose Gold and Gold 6"x6" Specialty paper. This paper has a lovely textured finish that I think looks wonderful on fairly simple, uncluttered cards.
I coloured the top berry piece very gently with my Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker so that the rough surface of the paper did not ruin the end of the marker. As the Blends Markers are Alcohol based they will dry on sealed surfaces.
