Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge-Pines



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



Best Wishes Wreath card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from SugarPea DesignsHere'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!
