Green, slender, leaf-clad holly boughs Were twisted gracefu' round her brows, I took her for some Scottish Muse, By that same token, An' come to stop those reckless vows, Would soon be broken. -Robert Burns
This week's Blogger's Challenge was to use Red, Green and Yellow...Ummmmmmmm, Yikes, So not my colors. I don't know when the last time I used Yellow was. So I sat and I thought and pulled colors from here and there and stared at my stamps. Then I gave up. Then I saw my pre-stamped image stack and right on top was a Papertrey Ink Holiday Button Bits holly image in Ripe Avocado and a bell went off in my head. After a little Basic Grey Wassail paper and some buttons, this is what I ended up with...
