I got to use one of my new toys on this card and that is the Holly Background Set-Hero Arts Stamp Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the holly in Stampin'Up! ink (Always Artichoke) and then ran it through the matching holly embossing folder that came with the set. I really like the look.
My image is from Mark's Finest Papers and the stamp set is Peaceful Nuthatch. My card was made for the challenge on Friends of Speedy TV, week #11 to make a Christmas card. The challenge can be found here at Home of Speedy TV. We would love for you to join us.

The EF with the stamp looks fabulous! Darling bird and a lovely card. Good luck getting the rest of the decorating done.
This is gorgeous, Brenda! I love the stamped and embossed background! The image is beautiful and so wonderfully colored! Hope you get your decorating done! I have my tree up, but there are no ornaments yet!
Beautiful work Brenda! That holly background is so festive!
Beautiful work Brenda! That holly background is so festive and of course your bird and pine cones are colored fabulously!
This is fabulous! I've never seen the stamping/embossing tools you mentioned, but what a fantastic background that made! I love how it surrounds this great image and the big red bow finishes it off perfectly!
You had me mesmerized, wondering how you did the background. Did she roll a brayer over the embossing? Draw it on with marker?
I'm glad you explained it! It's very cool, and love that bow.
Benzi, this is a stunner ... just gorgeous! Love the look of your holly background ... too cool looking!
Sounds like your house is a real stunner too!
Don't you just love new toys! Your card is gorgeous! my tree has been us for 3 weeks ...still waiting to be decorated and only got a few cards in the mail yesterday! Your way ahead of me!~LOL
What a sweet Nuthatch nestled in the pine! I love the embossed/stamped image! What a great idea!
This is a cute image too. Your layout really compliments it and so does that beautifully crafted bow.
Brenda, this will be framed. How lovely!
