The challenge over at Merry Monday - MM#156 this week is to use green, pine cones and the word Believe - check! I flipped our sketch through 180° as it worked better for my design. I covered the card with some lovely pine cone design paper in green. On the central panel I stamped some pine cones and branches in Versamark and embossed with Frantage embossing enamel. I love the effect this embossing powder gives, but it does have a tendency to fly off the card! I die cut some letters from the design paper to make the word and adhered them direct to the card. I finished the front with a couple of extra pine cones that I attached with dimensional gel (but you can't really see that in this photo!! On the inside I cut another sheet of the design paper and stamped a simple greeting and a few more pine cones too.
Do check out our blog to see what the rest of the team have made for you. You've until Friday 8th May midnight BST (7.00pm EDT) to submit your card. Have fun!!
I just love that sentiment cut out of the same paper, at first I thought you had used the negative die. The pine cone swag is beautiful. Fab card Deborah
