Dreaming of a green Christmas...

Playing along with two challenges, the Jingle Belles Holly & Ivy challenge, to make a card featuring foliage and the Christmas Kickstart Green Christmas challenge. I pulled out a a Spellbinders poinsettia die that I've barely used and green patterned papers from a coordinating set. The green papers have an olive hue and I love non-traditional colors on Christmas cards so this is right up my alley.

I need to get some Christmas cards completed and always love a sketch because it establishes some boundaries. The Jingle Belles challenge is to make a card using Stephanie's sketch below.

For the background I used a leftover page that I made for Wanderlust 2021, a mixed media art journaling course. The paper is watercolor paint on a paper bag, with salt sprinkled on the wet page. It was really fun to see how the pages turned out and I would definitely use this technique again. The rest are scraps of Christmas patterned paper and a gift tag from Michaels.
