(HINT HINT...it will will be $25 if using the DTBlog $1 Discount too).

Here's another sample using the Peaceful Pines set. It's a simple tent topper card that I dressed up with some elegant paper.

The outline pinecone image is stamped in brown ink. The solid image was stamped off once, using the same color ink, before filling in the outline. I masked the pinecone, then used the set's foliage stamps to add a leafy base underneath the pinecone. The pinecone is coated with some glitter for a sparkly, snowy look.

The kraft card base is covered with some pretty flocked paper. I stamped the "peaceful wishes" sentiment in brown ink on a cream panel and added a cream satin ribbon below it, then set the panel on the cardfront.
