Holly with Red and White Striped Background

I've created a very bright Christmas card. I started by using a punch to create the holly for each of the panels on the front of this card. I scored each holly leaf and then used dark green chalk to add detail to each of the leaves. The berries started with punched red circles and then I used a white gel pen to add the white highlights. I added strips of white cardstock to the red cardbase to break up the red. I think the addition of the white stripes really helped to pull the card elements together.
