H is for Holly

At Beccy's Place A Month of Holiday Cards challenge, Day 9 is the letter H. I also was intrigued by another challenge I saw at the Mod Squad challenge blog. They are asking for a floral card with a modern grid. I hadn't seen a card like this so I decided to combine these two challenges and see what I could come up with.

So I printed the image of the holly blossoms on my card  stock. The image is a free one from Beccy's Place. I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and used Mineral spirits for shading. So the tutorial on the Mod Squad blog said to draw lines to form a grid around the image. And then fill in the squares as you wish. So again I used Prismacolor Pencils and a black pen to add some accents. The sentiment is from AlteNew Halftone Christmas and I used the coordinating die to die cut the word Christmas. I used black card stock to back the card front and then mounted everything on green card stock. This was fun. I like trying new ideas. I'm entering these challenges:

• Beccy's Place A Month of Holiday Cards: Day 9 Letter H for holly
