Holiday Wishes



Good Monday morning to you all!  I want to start by wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving week.  I hope you take some time to enjoy a yummy meal and the company of family and friends.  I am not a black Friday shopper.  For those of you who are, I hope you find everything you head out looking for.



The card I am sharing with you today is for the  StampTV Spotlight Sketch (STVSPSK3) this week.  I used stamps from the Winter Foliage set to create a signature (for me) pinecone Christmas card, I started with a base card of PL Kraft cardstock.  I cut it to 4 1/4" x 11" and folded in half with the card opening on the right.  Then I layered up some PL Red Hot and Memory Box dot cardstocks.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of kraft and adhered it to the card in the "flag" fashion. The image was stamped onto PL Ivory cardstock and layered to some more Red Hot cardstock.  The pine sprigs were stamped a second time and I snipped between the needles, added some ink around the edges and a little bit of Smooch to give them some shimmer.  I popped these up over the stamped image and finished the pine cones with some Cinnamon Stickles.   A little red twine bow/button combo and some green Dew Drops were added to finish off the card.



I hope you will consider playing along with the challenge this week as Gina will be giving away a stamp set valued at $24.95 or less.  Read all about it here.
