Country Christmas ~ DD31

Today marks the 4th week I have been a designer over at Dynamic Duos.   Wow, time really flies!  It seems like I was just chosen the other day.  This weeks challenge is to use Real Red and Certainly Celery.  My sketch inspiration this week comes from Freshly Made Sketches #63.
 
 Certainly Celery used to be my very favorite green to play with in my cards, but since Pear Pizzaz arrived on the scene, it has taken over first place.  It was fun to dig out the older color and use it again!  I wanted to play around with the bleaching technique, so I embossed the holly in white on Crumb Cake CS, bleached out the image and used my blender pen to put the Certainly Celery and Real Red onto the leaves and holly berries.  What a fun technique.  The addition of Crumb Cake, along with the corduroy button, gingham DP, and the linen thread, gives the whole thing a country chistmas kind of feel.
