Day 9 - "H"

I was so pleased with the way the red holly looked against the black background that I decided to colour another branch in different shades of green. I'm really happy with both, but I think the red is still my favourite.

WOW, Beccy! Those cards are gorgeous! I love the red just a teeny bit more than the green but each one is truly marvelous. :-D

Beautiful cards. If only I was so talented. I keep trying but nothing I make will ever look this pretty.

I knew I was tired but when I first saw your photo the red really popped out at me and I just could'k work out how you had got such a vibrant colour on the back.

It wasn't until I had enlarged it I saw the fussy cutting. It really blends into the background so well!

Teresa said...

By GOLLY! Look at that HOLLY! Both of those cards are so bright and pretty! These are great!

Seriously, you fussy cut those out! Oh my gosh, they are over the top. I’ve got to try the black background. Thanks again for the inspiration!

I have to agree the red pops and is more traditional. It's a 3 day weekend for me so hopefully I can get some of these done!

Just thinking about the H and as we just had G for Gifts I think Santa will need a HELPING HAND with them.

They both look stunning but I must say the red really draws the eye more than the green.

Your colouring is DELIGHTFUL and really POPS against the black background - WOW!!!
