I used a piece of vellum stamped with images from Branches - retired (Inkadinkado). The ones stamped on the front are the berry branches, stamped with white pigment ink and heat embossed in white. Flipped over the vellum and stamped more berry branches (in Real Red ink - SU!) and Evergreen branch (in Mowed Lawn Distress Ink) on the back. I finished my piece by adding a splattering of white diluted acrylic paint for falling snow. The sentiment (Christmas sentiments - Gina Marie Designs) is stamped with more Mowed Lawn ink.

I'm sending this card over to NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff) Challenge #43. :) This challenge is so great ... it encourages me to make use of those stamps, dies and stencils that have been waiting to be used. :) Thanks Dolly!!
This card is also heading over to the Rudolph Days October Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes.

Oh, that NBUS... I keep trying to get to the bottom of it. This looks like a beautiful set with such realistic and delicate branches. Love the oval window. Such an easy technique with gorgeous results. My list of techniques to try is getting longer every day!
This is such a pretty technique Loll, still haven't got around to trying it out! :)
Love the stamping on the vellum Loll, I really have to try this! So pretty in the colors you used! xx
I love how soft and wispy this is! Beautiful card, Loll!
This is beautiful Loll, a technique I must try, your card is really stunning as is the first one you did with this technique!
Such a pretty effect on the vellum Loll, gorgeous card, Cathy x
Love the way you used the double stamping on this card Loll - a fabulous technique and beautifully executed to make a delightful card
Blessings

CAS perfection Loll, and thanks for reminding me that I really need to try this technique with the vellum...it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Hugs. :0)
Oooo what a stunner and it's lovely for vellum to be used too, something I don't use very often, I must get mine out and use it,thanks for joining us at Rudolph Days Challenge this month, Luv Sam x
That vellum technique is so cool and yet I still haven't tried it. There just always seems to be something else to do! Love those colours and the oval focal point xx
I love this card: the double stamping on vellum with that gorgeous berry branch, and the design of the card itself---so lovely! Definitely a technique I need to try.
Thank you for the shoutout, Lolly, and for playing again at NBUS! This is such a great example of the vellum technique (love the colors!) and reminds me that I still haven't tried it. (So much fun, so little time, lol!) I'll keep this in my inbox and perhaps that will do the trick. Love, Dolly
Gorgeous Loll, I think I have those Inkadoo stamps and never think to use them - great inspiration ♥
That is so, so pretty I really must try this technique soon. The challenge really is a good way of making sure our NBUS mountain gets reduced, or not (lol). Thank you for sharing at NBUS.
Hi Loll,
Happy Rudolf Days.
Oh I love this stunning card and very beautiful design.
Your cards always have such a wonderful polished finish to them.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful! I love the layered look! I have those stamps cut up in my Mixed media box:)
Stunning card as always, Loll. This vellum technique sounds fab.
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
How delicate and pretty!
WOW! Double stamping on vellum looks really interesting. I love all the colorful twigs
