Peace and Pine Sprigs

Good Tuesday morning.  My project today is a clean and simple card using Julie’s Christmas Scribbles Stamp SetChristmas Scribbles Die SetBrushstroke Peace and Taylored Expressions Bead Board embossing folder.

I die cut the pine sprigs and then stamped the image on each using peeled paint ink. I heat dried the ink to set it and then used my waterbrush to apply a light mixture of water and reinker to fill in the sprigs with color.  I heat dried the sprigs again and then applied versa to each and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I love how embossing makes the colors brighten.

I lightly formed the sprigs with my fingers to add dimension and attached them to the card base with glossy accents.  I used rolled up double stick tape to attach the peace sentiment to the card base .  I attached a bright red multi loop bow to the top of the sprigs for the finishing touch.
