Holly Tree

It's time for the tenth Rudolph Day of the year and another stamped Christmas card (stamping is my RD theme this year).  I have a box of old stamps that I haven't used for a while and can't believe that I last used this stamp in 2019, so it's perfect for the Neglected Stuff challenge.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white linen  card blank
     Woodware 'Holly Tree' stamp
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Snippets of green and gold patterned papers and white printer paper     

I used black ink to stamp the tree and pot onto a snippet of green paper. I fussy cut the tree and pot (cutting the bow section off the pot) and attached them to the front of the card.  The green paper had small dots of gold in it so I chose another snippet of gold paper to stamp the decorations.   The gold paper was very thin (I think it had been a free paper with a magazine many years ago) and as I didn't want it to rip when I fussy cut the decorations, I attached it to a piece of white printer paper.  I used black ink to stamp the holly, circles, bow and star onto the gold paper and then fussy cut them  These were then attached to the card.

 I am entering the following challenges:
