Our CC&S Challenge this week is to choose a sketch from 2017 and create a seasonal card. I used sketch #214 and brought out the wreath embossing folder I used for my "Joy" card again. Last year I was lucky enough to win a card challenge sponsored by DRS Designs and picked up this cute pinecone stamp. I used Copics and colored pencils for coloring (including the pinecone tips with E41) along with some Stickles for a little extra sparkle and then fussy cut the pinecone. It's the first time I've inked it up and am so pleased with how it turned out!!
This will be our last challenge for 2017; you have two weeks to enter. We'll be back on January 9th with a sketch challenge featuring our new DT members. Hope you will join us in the new year!

ReplyDeleteWow! When I saw the thumbnail of this, I thought you'd glued a real pine cone to your card! I am so amazed at how dimensional you made this look with your coloring skills and clever use of snow! This is so elegant and rustic and I like how you used such iconic holiday elements for this and did it in a fresh new way! Happy holidays to you and yours and thank you for taking the time to share your inspiring project with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
