One of the more striking stamp sets in our Holiday catalogue is Christmas Pines with its coordinating Pretty Pines Thinlits. Today’s card features both, along with the fabulous Woodgrain Embossing folder.
I love how easily and precisely the dies cut out the boughs. You will want to use a Precision Base Plate with your Big Shot to make it easy to cut the boughs, and a Die Brush to help pop them out of the die. On this card I have used two different shades of green, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz, to give the arrangement a bit of depth.
Also adding depth to the card is the background embossing. The Woodgrain folder was inked with Crumb Cake before adding the Crumb Cake cardstock to the folder, and it gives a deeper colour to the card.
The Noel stamp in this stamp set is the perfect way to finish the card!
