Here is another holiday card using the Joy of Noel bundle and the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. I began with a Shaded Spruce card base and added a layer of DSP to the card front. The green holly border is also cut using a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Shaded Spruce ink on a panel of white and cropped using the coordinating die from the bundle.
Did you know that traditionally the Holly tree symbolizes peace and goodwill. Due to its resistance to lightning, it is associated with the Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor. According to ancient history it was planted near dwellings to protect people from lightning strikes. I think it is just beautiful and makes me think of Christmas! Happy Stamping!
