Christmas pine cone


I used a pre-cut aperture card for this card, then realised once I'd covered the front with paper I was going to have to cut the aperture all over again so I might as well have started out with a plain card..... doh!

The conifer sprig is stamped on a circle of white card slightly larger than the aperture and positioned after making the card front, to make sure everything matches. And I resurrected a few peel offs to decorate it because I am predicting that this year will see a big peel-off revival. I've been seeing some great new ideas in the peel off ranges, and that is bound to rekindle interest in the more traditional designs. You heard it here first!

I am sharing this with 52 Christmas Card Throwdown where the theme is Christmas Foliage  and Uniko Studio where it is Metallics

    A really lovely vintage looking Christmas card Jane. Now I hope you're right about the peeloffs. That could put me right on trend as I've got hundreds of them! Barbxx

    I think this is a super combination of challenges! I like the traditional pinecone and branch and all the lovely gold too. Thanks so much for playing along with both Uniko and 52CCT, Deborah DT.
