Pantone Chip Inspired Card

Have to admit, I'd never heard of Pantone Chip photography, but what a fun card challenge for PTI MIM!  I knew right away I wanted to make a Christmas card using Spruce & Sprigs.  
I smooshed a couple scraps with DI pine needles & festive berries to use for die cutting.  I stamped the holly & branch in Pinefeather & the berries in festive berries.  The chip was made by blending a 2x3 inch scrap with DI pine needles.  The sentiment from Wreath for All Seasons was stamped in Brilliance Starlite Black.  I love using the mini MISTI to stamp multiple times when needed, like I did here for the berries & the word Holidays.  I tried several backgrounds, but didn't like them.  Finally decided just to use dry embossed dots & I mounted the chip with foam tape.  Really love how this turned out--hope you do, too!  I'm also entering CAS(E) this Sketch, Christmas Card Challenges,  HLS Christmas Challenge, Time Out & Word Art Wednesday.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Greta, what a delightful looking Christmas card! Didn't even think about using this technique for Christmas, but after seeing your card I will definitely be making some.

    I haven't heart of the Panetone photography either but have just seen 4 different cards with this on them only today!! Your card is so crisp and white, really makes those green and red embellishments the star. Its a beautiful Xmas card and I'm so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT!

    I just watched Lexi's video and that is such a fun technique. I do love the simplicity of it and the clean look. Your card is perfect. Great Christmas card and the holly looks like velvet in the picture. Just beautiful.
