The Holly and the Ivy with a Modern Twist

 I decided to put a modern spin on a traditional stamp set by using the Jayne Nestorenko Bijou Holly and the Ivy stamps with kraft card.

Die cut a topper from kraft card using the 3" nested squares die and a topper from Clarity stencil card using the corresponding nested squares picot die.

Add the main Bijou Holly & Ivy stamp to the topper in Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder.

Add the corner four times in the same manner.

Stamping directly onto the front of a 5" x 5" kraft card blank, add the sentiment from the same stamp set at the bottom in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink.

Add the main stamp around the edges of the card in the same ink.

To finish, mat up the topper and add it to the front of the card.
