Merry Monday Challenge #14

Good Monday Morning to everyone.  Today I am presenting you with a card I made for the Merry Monday Challenge found here on the Always Playing with Paper blog. I am really happy that I can get this head start on my Christmas cards.  Here is the sketch for this week - - -
 And here is what I came up with.



All the papers are from (I think) a DCWV Christmas Pad.
The problem is that I moved so many things around in my room so many times that when I find these scraps of paper they are not always with the pads that they came in.  As you can see I went a little crazy with my gold leaf pen. The sentiment and the holly leaves are both from retired SU sets. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink and then I colored the holly with markers, stamped it then cut it out with a Labels Nine Nestabilities.    The ribbon is also Stampin Up.   I'm going to try very hard today to get to finished a few other cards for challenges.  So I may see you again later on.
Thanks a bunch for taking a minute to stop by.
