A big congrats to Bev, the newest Featured Stamper! I chose THIS card to CASE. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, but I used stamps instead of a napkin, added a window arch & used an embossing folder.
I'm using a brand new Pinecone image for my centerpiece. The pinecone was stamped, colored w/ Copics & fussy cut. Then I die cut a large white panel, cut out the arched window & cut another arch (using 2 sizes of the same die set) to make a frame. I stamped the Merry Christmas Arc on the frame (I cut the image apart to make it easier). On the leftover inside arched piece & also on the leftover large frame, I used the Woven Plaid stamp & the 3 colors of Distress inks. I went back I embossed the white layer w/ a snowfall folder before I put it all together & I also added a little die cut holly for the hanging part of the pinecone.
Congrats again,Bev! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog:The Write Stuff

Oh girl that pine cone looks real....wonderfully done...love how you displayed it too, like its a hanging ornament. The whispers of Christmas colors on it with the paper Holly and edge a nice touch.

Your pinecone looks so Yummy, like it has melted caramel drizzled all over it; so much like the real ones! I wasn't sure your snowy bg was an ef; it almost looks like chunky salt! What beautiful texture and creation~
