SSS Holiday Sparkle, Fir Branches

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.


I've got a very clean and simple card to share today featuring the new Fir Branches card from Simon Says Stamp.

I wanted to create a frame of fir branches, so I started by die cutting an oval from the center of a piece of soft gray cardstock.

The branches were die cut five or six times from a dark green, and then arranged around my oval.

To add a little contrast to the greens, I swiped my white pigment inkpad over the branches and used a blending brush to add some of that white to some harder to reach/swipe places.


To add a bit of color, I die cut several berries using the Berry Stems dies.  These were then scattered around the frame and adhered in place using Micro Dots.

The sentiment, from the Holiday Greetings set was stamped directly onto my card base in Cherry ink, and then then frame panel was adhered with foam adhesive for some extra dimension.

That's all for me today, thanks for stopping by!
