SSS Diecember, Whirl Bay Leaves

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.


I really love the new Whirl Bay Leaves die from Simon's Diecember release.  Leaves/branches are some of my favorite types of dies and I love the texture in the leaves themselves.

For today's card, I die cut several of the leaves from cream cardstock.  I wanted to add a little bit of shimmer to them, so I watercolored them with the Champagne Gold watercolor pan from my Starry Colors watercolor set.  It's hard to see in the photos, but it adds a little extra glitz to the card.

Once these were dry, they were adhered to a panel of cream cardstock to create an allover pattern.  This was then adhered directly to a kraft base.


The Fancy Peace sentiment was die cut from Champagne Matte cardstock and adhered to a shadow piece cut from cream.  The completed sentiment was popped up with foam tape.

Another Christmas card for my dwindling pile....I've finally entered the part of the year where I send more cards than I make!
