A one-layer card is the challenge for this week on Merry Monday - and oh how hard that is to do when I love adding little bits and bobs or adding a frame or whatever!! But I gave it a go for what it's worth!
I stamped and layered branches, leaves and sprigs in various green inks which I had spritzed with a bit of water. Added the sentiment which is embossed with clear over black ink. For a little texture I dry embossed a frame around the edge of the card. Finally took my glossy accents and added little "snowdrops" here and there.
Thanks for dropping by today and love to read your comments. Betty
love how this turned out. the foliage in all those colors is refreshing. I really really should start making my Christmas cards. However!! NOT yet. But I "should."
