Actually, the season is Fall--at least it feels like it here. However, the current PTI release is full of new holiday products. If you know me you won't be surprised to see that I made a Christmas card for the PTI CAWU challenge. There are several DT cards I want to case, but I started with this one by Heather.
I love the branches & the kraft with white color combo. The stitched frames made me think of the dotted die in Mix & Mat Flourishes. I stamped images from Spruce & Sprigs on Classic Kraft cardstock using Heather's ink choices of Prairie Grass, Ripe Avocado, Olive Twist & Cocoa Bean.
The sentiment from Splits: 'Tis the Season was white embossed & I used a fine point Sharpie for the white dots. The stamped panel was attached with fun foam. I'm also entering HLS Christmas challenge which I was thrilled to win last month & SSS Wednesday.
Next is a Christmas tag using some of the left over Alcohol Ink panel I used for my last card.
The tag is a very old MFT die. I used another old MFT border die for the wavy edge & Ellen Hutson word dies for the sentiment. Looked a bit too plain, so dry embossed the tag with a very old Cuttlebug embossing folder. Finished off with festive red metallic/white twine & a tiny clear gem to dot the i. I'm entering the EH AI challenge & The Snippets Playground.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
