I also used The Greetery Fit to be Tied Bow
the background is made with a Darice EF with berries and holly

The berries and foliage are just lovely for your Christmas card, Colleen! And, to top it off with the lovely red bow is perfect!

Your foliage and berries bouquet is so pretty with the red bow, Colleen! Using two die-cuts definitely make the bouquet look fuller. The embossing on the background is a really nice touch!

Looks like we were on the same wavelength this month using the same stamp set Colleen! You've probably used it before though, where this was the first time for me, and I couldn't believe I waited so long after finally seeing how easy it was to ink up! I love the addition of the red bow and the embossed background on your card too...SOOOOO pretty!! Hope you're getting lots of snuggles in with that new grandbaby...he's absolutely ADORABLE Colleen!! Enjoy!! Hugs. :0)

Beautiful bouquet of foliage and berries! Lovely traditional colours - I love the way the card base, the sentiment banner, and the bow all tie into the berries.

The Greetery Budding Beauties stamp and die was made for this challenge! Doubling it up to make it fuller was a great idea. Gorgeous festive card.
