Holiday Wishes - Pinecones


Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Challenge this week is to make a Christmas card with three of something on it.  I chose to use three pieces of red bling.


To make the card I used this pretty pine cone image by Fred, She Said Design along with some glittery pattern paper. I coloured the images completely with tea dyed distress ink and then added glitter to the pine cones to give them a snowy effect. 

 To complete my card I added a reversible red/green ribbon, my bling and a printed sentiment that I altered. Hope you enjoy my card and have a fantastic week.

    Hi, Judy! Love both your cards which use the sketch! Each one is so unique - but the same sketch - awesome. I need to do that one now, too!
