BSS IDEA - Pine Cone Christmas

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff  Idea.

Wow it's getting dark so early now.  Worked in

the garden Sunday morning, cutting down the

Annuals and cleaning out all the potted plants.

Hauled the cushions for the patio furniture to 

the basement and stacked the furniture to cover 

later this week.  Loving the cooler weather,

but not looking forward to what comes next.

Speaking of what comes next, I have a Christmas

card for you today.

Pine Cone image - Colorado Craft Company

Big and Bold - Pine  Branch & Pine cones (BB264)

Papers - Green and white card stock

Red mirror card stock

Designer paper is Simple Stories-Country Christmas Pack

Sentiment is a sticker from the paper pack.

I colored the image with distress inks.

I first stamped the image with Versafine Black ink.

Then embossed with clear embossing ink.

I colored the pine cones with a Copic E31

I then used a blending tool and Vintage Photo

to darken some areas of the pine cones

I used Lucky Clover distress ink with the

blending tool all over the pine branches

I then cute out the bottom of the pine cones and

around the pine branches.

Made a very pretty card and it didn't take forever.

I did pop up the image with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek.

Have a great week.

Until later.........
