New England Winter

There is a special offer on over at Chocolate Baroque with a stamp of the week - New England Winter

This set includes some lovely images including one of a pine cone that I am especially fond of. Here is a card I made way back with this stamp that has always been one of the favourites I have made over the years.


All the images were embossed in emerald green metallic EP. The shading is in Pine Needles Distress Ink. The mistletoe corner with added pearl berries is from another set that I fear has been discontinued. Matting is done with some dark green midnight glitter card and the cones have highlights of glitter snow using Glamour Dust glitter which is one of the few types I ever use. The sprigs of pine are from a punch that has since gone to the big crafting dustbin. (Note to self - never stand on a punch to get it through a reluctant piece of card - does this conjure pictures of a baby elephant doing a party trick?!)
