My card this week has lots of pine cones on - I always think that pine cones are part of Christmas - I've even had pine scented candles.
Unusually for me, I've managed to make a card that hits three challenges, so this card is being linked to Bah! Humbug! - use metallic, CHNC - use silver and I've based the design on the lovely Jingle Belles sketch drawn by Allison Fillo.
When I was taking the photograph, I realised that the pine cones looked better the other way up.
Too late to change it now, I'll have to try to remember next time. Mind you, the sketch looks interesting upside down so I might give that a try on something else.
Stamp by Elusive Images - which may be available again soon through Chocolate Baroque. Keep an eye on Glenda's blog to catch the launch of the new company. Papers from my stash.
See you next week.

ReplyDeleteFlip that sentiment over, and I think you would be good to go the other direction ... although I think both look mighty-fine ... love the shimmer of the silver ... thanks for joining our jingle belles fun.
