Hello bloggers! I decided to use a piece of the decorative paper in my stash for today's card. I started by cutting the
Merry Big Bold Word in black and glued it to a white piece of card. I cut the die again using the decorative plaid paper and then I paper pieced it back into the die cut. I cut the pine cone from the
Pine Cone & Greenery die set out of tan card. I added some holly from the
Gingerbread House die set and green branches as accents. I added three small red berries to the holly sprig. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/4" in size.
Don't forget to check back later today as I will be doing the drawings and posting the list of winners from the August Die Release Blog Launch. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card Sue, love the tartan xx
