Another Christmas card this week? Sure, why not!! This one is my fave. It pairs cream and white with gold.
The inspiration piece: a Top Note die, already embossed with snowflakes and with a touch of gold cardstock along one edge. This was in a Scrap Bag from my Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Then, I found a pear topiary (CTMH), already colored ages ago, in my image box. I stamped a little bird from Hero Arts, trimmed him and added him to the pear tree.
I punched a few holly leaves out of the same gold cardstock, and added pearl 'berries'. A few more little details: an embossed card base, a seam binding bow, and a tiny Papertrey Ink sentiment.
Thank you so much for coming by today!
