A wreath of holly and berries

Hello!  Today is new release day for Cleary Digi Stamps  Of course, there is a lot more fun new images to play with other than just the images I used, you can check out all the releases and the rest of the Design Team inspiration at Lori's blog.

I made 3 cards with the NEW Holly Wreath Digi image set.

My first card, I used the 2 small "bunches" of holly that are included in the digital set, rotated the one around, and then put the PNG sentiment inbetween them.  I wanted to keep a traditional color theme with a light blue shadowing effect.

The second card, I used the full wreath and put a sentiment inside it.  Once again, traditional colors this time with a yellow shadow.  The image was so large that I decided to just keep the card pretty simple.  It's a 4.25" square card.

Finally, I used the PNG images of the smaller bunches of holly, and rotated them and placed closely together to make a "new" bunch of holly and added a PNG sentiment.  I wanted to try a non-traditional color theme with "white-ish" leaves and magenta/plum colored berries, and got to use some older Basic grey patterned paper pack called "Eva".
