Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We had a cold spell of a few days and now we're back to warmer days.
Maybe I can get the yard work done in the next few days.
Meanwhile, this is a card like I made for each of our craft group this month.
I love these pinecones because they have such wonderful texture and I use these
pine branches often. The pinecone pieces were cut from kraft card and I sponged a
bit of Distress ink on the edges. The pine boughs were cut from Neenah Solar White
and I sponged some ink on them also.
I cut some Nordic Frames, also from The Greetery, and layered
them with kraft cardstock as a base for my pine bough.
I needed a card for my brother-in-law and this fit the bill. He always appreciates my cards.
Challenges:
Inkspirational #302 - Moodboard (I was inspired by the greenery and pinecones in the bottom left)
Seize the Birthday #272 - ATG Birthday (Didn't use the twist)

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar (ret SU), Rustic Wilderness, Brushed Corduroy

ReplyDeleteI can almost feel the texture on the pinecones. They look so real. Those Nordic frames are just the bomb.

ReplyDeleteLove your neutral colors with just a touch of greens just on your die cut boughs, Bonnie. Wonderful coloring on your die cut pinecones and boughs.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful woodsy card, Bonnie! It's perfect for a masculine birthday or for anyone (like me) who loves the great outdoors. This pinecone die set is in my basket waiting for me to make a Christmas card with it. I wonder if I'll get around to it this year? Sheesh.
