Today's card is for Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #121 - use pine cones, greens and plaid ribbon. I got it done just in time to post it.
ETA: My card was an Honorable Mention at Merry Monday.
The card base and main panel is MFT Smooth White CS. I stamped the panel with MFT Wood Plank Background in Sahara Sand ink. The mat is SU Always Artichoke. I used MFT Winter Wreath die to cut out 3 layers in SU Old Olive and Always Artichoke CS, layered them and mounted them with tiny pieces of foam dimensionals. The pine cones are from SU Watercolor Winter and stamped in SU Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake CS and sponged lightly with Soft Suede ink. The sentiment from Inspired by Stamping's Festive Frames is stamped in Always Artichoke on a banner cut with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags die. I didn't cut the top end, but placed it back in the die and cut the flag end again to make it longer. I then scored it, folded the ends and adhered it with foam dimensionals. I added the plaid ribbon to the wreath and my card was done.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
