I made this card for this week's SC251 on SCS. Such a fun sketch...and I thought these trees would be perfect for it!
These tree images are from the Innovative Stamp Creations Joyful Christmas set, which was released this month!! These trees are just perfect for paper piecing, so I pulled out some fun dark green snowflake DP by Karen Foster! The vanilla background behind the trees and the two DP panels were sponged with Tea Die, Scattered Straw and Frayed Burlap distress inks. Then to finish off the card, I added a bit of bravo burgundy grosgrain ribbon, where I tied a regular bow, as compared to yesterday's card where I did a tailored bow with the same ribbon. I think both bows work, but I am really in love with the tailored bow, and how easy it is to piece together!!
Thanks so much for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Connie
