I want to add that a better stamper (I'm new to all this) should do a better job with those pinecones. I found that if I stamped the first pinecone on scrap paper, that it was paler and nicer, without those cones that just sort of jump out. I think I sent my better cards off to friends and relatives. ;-) So, just a warning for other new stampers.

I think that this is beautiful! If You sent away "your better" cards, they got a real treat!! I like the split cardstock with the ribbon. Keep on posting, you did a great job!

Thank you very much! I feel I have to let all of you know, I messed up a little in my description of materials, since you've commented on the colors. I'm pretty sure that instead of the "classic" DCWV green, that I used their "earth" green instead. I realized this when I made another card (very similar, right next to this one), that that darker green was from the "classic" collection. Just so you don't waste money if you like this lighter, more sage-y green. :-)
