Send out Christmas wishes with a natural and earthy flair. This beautiful set called Naturally Merry, illustrated by Marcella Hawley, offers an elegant sugar pine cone and a sprig of holly. Pair these beauties with three elegant Christmas expressions and you have the making of a gorgeous set perfect for the holidays.
My card pairs the pinecone image from the set with the new Echo Park Christmas This & That 6x6 paper pad. I cut out the pinecone with my Silhouette Cameo cut file on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock, and stamped the image (and my sentiment) with Memento Rick Cocoa ink. I colored with Copics from the Copper, Flesh Tones 2 and Evergreen collections, shown below. I added a Basque Red seam binding bow from the Poppy Color Made Easy collection.
