Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge-Pines

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We hope you'll play along! Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for all the challenge info and deadline.  

Here's my take on the inspiration photo.  I don't have any pinecone stamps in my collection, so I went with a general pine theme.  I used the Funky Wreaths-All Season stamps and dies from SugarPea Designs to make a seasonal wreath.  The wreath itself was stamped in olive pigment ink, then I filled it in with berries stamped in red pigment ink.   The wreath was die cut with the matching die, then adhered to a kraft card base  using foam tape for dimension.  The "best wishes" sentiment was stamped in the center of the wreath.  I accented it with a tiny red bow, tied using my Bow Easy--which, sadly, I realized has a broken piece . . . To go with the seasonal theme, I adhered a red patterned panel with cream dots to the bottom of the card base, then added a strip of cream trim across the top of the dotted panel.  The final touch was dotting a bit of Glossy Accents on each of the berries for a shiny, dimensional look.  The best part is that I managed to do this without smearing a single berry!
