Holly-days

 Here's a simple Christmas card using some scraps of patterned papers. This card was inspired by a few challenges, including the Jingle Belles' masculine challenge and the Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch. Masculine cards often have images of nature, such as a plant, without too much fru-fru or embellishments, so this fits that bill, I think. All the patterned paper panels are edged in red ink to give them some definition. The sentiment circle is popped up on foam tape.
