Yuletide Greetings : Winter Foliage




Today's Challenge at Make My Monday was chosen by Emma and the theme she would like to see "Winter Foliage" so think, ivy, holly, pine cones, fir trees, berries etc, it doesn't need to be a Christmas card.
My card was made totally from die cuts from various companies , holly leaves from Joanna Sheen, Pine branches and cone base by Spellbinder, cone segments cut from a sizzix pansy/viola die, each piece was less than 1cm across, were embossed and approx  25-30 added to each base. Sentiment from Tonic with a mat I cut by hand.   I wish I had added a mat behind the embossed one to give some contrast, but overall am reasonably pleased with the result.

    I am sorry your card will not be in the draw as you have not used any punches on your card, theme is Dies AND Punches. Marlene
