Pinecone Wreath

I've been a little busy this month and finding not much time to stamp.  I love this stamp set (Ornamental Pine) and I've used it a lot last month, so decided to make a wreath with the pinecone stamp in the set.  First I punched out a circle and attached to my cardstock.  Then I stamped the pinecone stamp with Old Olive.  Then I used Versamark ink on the pinecone and then inked it up with Lost Lagoon.  Then I stamped it on the empty spots on the wreath and sprinkled Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it and used the Heat Tool to emboss it.  I attached a Lost Lagoon ribbon and added "Merry Christmas" from Good Greetings. I think I might make the wreath a little fuller next time.  This was just a little experimenting, but I love the colors together.

This is a card I had my customers make at a recent workshop.  I love these colors together as well as this stamp set.  Here are my instructions to make this card:

1.     Island Indigo cardstock is cut at 8½” x 5½” and scored in the middle at 4¼” for the base card.

2.    Insert 5¼” x 4” Soft Sky cardstock into Filigree Frame and run it through the Big Shot.  Adhere to front of card with adhesive.

Ornamental Pine

Had some time to stamp a few cards this weekend.  This set is from the Holiday Catalog called Ornamental Pine and I've made a few cards with this stamp set.  The colors are Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon.  I also used some Frosted Sequins, Silver Embossing Powder and 3/8" Stitched Satin Lost Lagoon Ribbon.
