Jolly Holly Wishes   For this card, I looked out my Prismacolor Premier Pencils as I NEVER use them! This allowed me to stamp on to Kraft Card for this project. I used Gnome Jolly Holly Wishes Stamp Set from Polkadoodles.  Once coloured, I die cut using a square die and inked the edges in brown distress oxide ink. I die cut a flourish square border in white and attached. This was then attached to a further 3 square die cuts. The trees and sentiment are from the same stamp set. The snowflakes are from Snow Globe Die Set.  I finished off by making a brown and white gingham bow, 2 twine bows and attaching little wooden flat back gems to the snowflakes.

This bundle is packed full of B&W or pre-coloured images for all your Christmas crafting. I'd li
