After checking out the C&S sketch I decided to use my very neglected PTI Winterberry stamp & die sets for the card. I die cut the little tree and then stamped the image using Certain Celery ink. I will admit that it took me at least three attempts to get the tree stamped perfectly centered on the die cut. I am also going to admit that I messed up the little red berries several times, too! The berries were added using red Liquid Pearls and on the first try (on a tree that was stamped slightly off center) the berries came out a little to gloppy. The second one I dropped on the floor... and it landed face down!! Finally on the last try I was able to get perfect little berries. Thankfully third time turned out to be the charm!! Not the most imaginative card, but certainly cute.Thanks for stopping by....
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; SU! Riding Hood Red; Stamps: PTI; Ink: Stampin Up! Certain Celery; Dies: PTI; Ranger Red Liquid Pearls; SU! border punch
