Christmas Wreath

This card is for the sketch challenge at Jingle Belles.  I used an EK Success holly punch to make the wreath, punching leaves from two shades of green cardstock.  I layered them on a ring that I cut from cardstock.  The berries were punched from red cardstock using a 1/8" hand punch. The dotted strips are from My Mind's Eye Antique Dots paper.  The sentiment was hand written with a Bic marker. Next to the sentiment I added the three holly leaves and berries.  I tried to keep this simple and clean.  The layout out was fun to work with and as I am writing this other ideas are popping into my head.  Maybe I should go create another card or two.
