I created this Ornamental Pine card for another swap that I participated in for WOW Holiday Cards! I definitely think this qualifies, don’t you?
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Island Indigo cardstock, folded in half.
- A 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White is adhered on top.
- Another Whisper White layer is cut 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 and sponged in the upper right corner with Soft Sky, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo Inks.
- The pine branch from Ornamental Pines is inked with Mossy Meadow Ink and an Early Espresso Marker and stamped in the corner.
- On top of that, Gorgeous Grunge is inked with White Craft Ink and randomly stamped for snow flurries.
- The pinecone is stamped with Chocolate Chip Ink on Soft Suede and cut out, and the White Gel Pen highlights the snow on it.
- The two left corners are rounded with the Corner Punch and a loop of Bermuda Bay Striped Ribbon is folded and adhered behind the Whisper White. This panel is offset to the right edge and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Finally, the Ornamental Pines greeting was stamped with Island Indigo Ink, and Frosted Silver Sequins were added next to the greeting.
