I started this project with a piece of 81/2 x 11 basic white thick cardstock that I cut at 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4 to make a standard A2 sized card. I cut the "limbs" from basic white cardstock and adhered, I used the ornamental elements dies from the stampin up holiday mini catalog and cut the ornaments from pretty peacock and berry burst, shimmer paper and cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment in versa mark and heat embossed with gold powder. I finished it off with gold trim that I used to make double bows then attached the ornaments with stampin dimensionals. I love this die set, it has such lovely ornaments and it is a very versatile set. These colors look great together and while not really traditional colors they do work well as they work beautifully in place of red and just your average green. Pretty Peacock is one of my absolute favorite colors from the color refresh stampin up had with the release of the annual catalog. I couldnt be more pleased with the finished card and am planning on making more to hand deliver with christmas presents. I will be submitting this project to the following challenges:
Jill, such a pretty card! I LOVE those ornament dies you used,,, I thought I had seen all the SU products in their catalog, but I sure missed these beauties. I love the holiday colors you chose, and how the gold thread bows match your gold embossed sentiment!! Thank you so much for sharing your creative talents with us at Double Trouble for our "Die-cember" challenge!!! -Donna
