Branches...

Hello & Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

I realized that I hadn't shown you the last 

Christmas card I made from that October

Card Class I went too - So, I thought... Today

is a good day to share it! :)

Here's the card the Hostess made for us

to re-create --

I really like the branches on this card

I wasn't a fan of the ribbon or the sentiment

Now - Here's what I made --

I liked the layout of her card, so I stuck with that -

I changed it up a bit by using a Stitched Rectangle die

and an Oval Double Stitch die... 

I also used Red Cardstock as my Card Base - I thought the white was

too boring for me... 

I used a Stitched banner die with a nice simple Sentiment

And I also used a Stitched Scallop die for my 

Scallop border which shows smaller scallops than

the original card has. 

I also wanted to dress up the branches, so

I used some Candy Cane Trendy Twine with

a Red gem to highlight the branches a bit -

Of course, to finish my card, I added some Tiny Clear Gems 

and some Glitter Red & Green Nuvo Drops --

 I think my card took a lighter approach

and felt the original card seemed to bulky/heavy

to me... What do you guys think???

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous Day!
