Greetings!
Pine cones and pine boughs are seen everywhere this time of year in nature, indoor and outdoor decor and of course on cards too! The Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper which is full of prints that coordinate with the Christmas Season stamp set inspired my card today. This image turned out so great and all the color variation is so easy to do! Photopolymer stamps take the uncertainty out of lining up your layered images as the stamps are clear so you can see where you're placing it.
The beautiful Wintry 3D embossing folders provide this wonderful pine bough texture so it feels like you are peering through a frosted layer to see the colorful pinecones. Brushing a little Wink of Stella over the stamped focal point brings a shimmery magic to them.
The message from the Peaceful Deer stamp set of sending love & peace is most fitting for the feel of this card and makes it the perfect message to send to someone all season long.
