This card was conceived with inspiration from three Challenges – The House that Stamps Built Color Challenge; A Blog Named Hero Sparkle Challenge; and the CASology Challenge – Branch.
I started by stamping and die cutting the branches from Hero Arts Build a Tree using the darkest green from the color challenge. I punched more branches to bring in the second shade of green.
Too pull in the grey and the Sparkle for the Hero Arts Challenge, I used a sparkly shimmery silver card base.
No luck with a pine cone this size in my stash, so I backed my white snowflake button with a brown circle to pull in the final color. I topped it with a silver pearl to cover the button holes.
The final touch was a sentiment flag from Hero Arts Christmas Messages. I love that I'm already stocking my holiday card stash for 2020.
Absolutely stunning! Glad you joined us at The House That Stamps Built. Donna DT

Cute, cute, cute! This tiny amount of layering is perfect. It gives dimension, but still keeps your shimmery silver card such a focal point. Thanks for sharing at CASology.
