The Card
The Details
The hint of greenery from Winter Awaits peeking in from the top and bottom of the card reminds me of a Christmas tree. I stamped those first and then ink blended with Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint, and Gathered Twigs. The coloring came together so easily. For a hint of text, I stamped A Little Christmas Carol over the top in the two opposite corners. Then, I die cut the layers using my favorite scallop and stitched rectangle dies.
I wanted the die cut sentiment to be the real focal point for this card so I popped it up over a die cut scallop circle of vellum. It framed the sentiment and pinecones perfectly while little letting a hint of that background peek thru.
