Pam is our hostess this week and she has chosen old olive, soft suede, gold and for desert: Christmas greenery.
On a piece of soft suede cs I stamped my woodgrain stamp to create the panel across the top. Stamped and die cut the greenery - but since I was using 2 colors on each stamp I colored directly on the stamp with a marker and used my MISTI to stamp each color one at a time. Gold embossed the pinecones and the sentiment. When I was assembling, I popped up the top panel with the suede cs, a strip of old olive, and the greenery - this gives the card some great dimension. Added sequins for sparkle.
Come join us, you may be chosen to be a Guest Designer!
What a gorgeous festive card and I love how you overlapped the die cut cones.Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM and I hope you will join us again soon.
Hugs

Love all the pinecones and pine needles in the gallery today for this fabulous color challenge. Love your arrangement of them going all across the card.

Just a beautiful card, Maura! I love the way you placed the boughs to create an arc. I must use my Hardwood stamp more! Your use of it is just perfect!
