Dawn Olchefske has great talent, and I check out her site on a regular basis. She provides so much inspiration to the paper crafting community. Thanks again Dawn. Today, I have taken an idea from one of her Christmas cards – making some minor changes.
The card base is Naturals Ivory. I then took a piece of Very Vanilla and used the faux letterpress method with Crumb Cake ink and the Lacy Brocade TIEF. I stamped the pine cones from the retired Autumn Days using Early Espresso and Always Artichoke markers on Very Vanilla. These were sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter, and the edges sponged with Crumb Cake. and added to another piece of vanilla. The Peace on Earth sentiment from Greetings of the Season was stamped in Early Espresso.
It is a little difficult to see the sparkles, but isn’t this an elegant Christmas card?
Here is one using a different stamp set with a similar design.
Hi Laurent,
The measurements for the card are:
Card Base: 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 10.5cm
Embossed Layer: 13.8cm x 9.5cm
Pine Needles Layers: 4cm x 4cm
Background Layer for Pine Needles and Sentiment: 11.8cm x 5cm
I hope that this helps. Please get back to me if you have any further queries.
Happy stamping,
Annette
