It was a Sunday filled with church then some not so pretty football games and a Nascar race. Perfect for some crafting time and making yet another Christmas card! The Paper Players challenge has a great sketch by Anne Marie this week. I die cut five strips using the Banner Builders Basics set from PTI and decided a swag of pinecones and pine would become my "shape" element. This was fun to put together!
An easy way to add a bit of sparkle is to swipe on some crystal Stickles. The pine boughs were cut from green paper then sponged in random spots with Pinefeather dye ink. Sentiment was gold embossed.
STAMPS: Just Sentiments: He is Born (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Saffron Spice, Honey Nut, Classic Kraft, Cocoa Bean, Dark Chocolate, Pinefeather, Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Versamark.
PAPER: Holly Day Wishes (Recollection); Rustic Cream (PTI).
DIES: Into the Blooms: Pine, Banner Builders: Basics (PTI); Banner Flag STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).
OTHER: Crystal Stickles, Gold embossing powder.
Thanks for stopping by...have a great day! ~Wanda
