Mistletoe Joy

Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, Candy!

I chose this card as my inspiration:

LIST: Colours (monochrome shades of brown, orange, ochre, copper, white), Techniques (stamping, colouring), Elements (downward branch with leaves, horizontal copper stripe, twine bow, stamped sentiment, circular woodgrain patterned paper)

INCLUDE: downward branch, stamped sentiment, basic layout

MODIFY: I changed the occasion to Christmas by changing the colours to red, pink and white. die cut instead of stamping, added berries to the branch, moved circular element to focal panel, twine became metallic horizontal element

EXCLUDE: patterned paper

I die cut my olive branch and turned it for a more 'mistletoe' feel. I added berries in shades of red and pink.

The background was blended with the same colours as the berries, from dark on the top and bottom to pale in the centre, to give a 'horizontal' feel to the background. I wrapped the background with some gold twine for my metallic element and popped up the background and then the circular focal panel for some dimension.
