BOUGHS OF HOLLY SUITE COLLECTION: OH SO DREAMY!

I was dying to create something with this gorgeous Suite Collection from the NEW 2022 July – December Holiday Mini Catalog. (Item 159612 | $79.25). Since the leaves from this bundle (Leaves of Holly) are so pretty, I wanted to make sure to make them front and center on the card, which meant I needed to go slimline! I love the result.
