Warm Winter Wishes - AHSC 552

 I LOVE this new Evergreen paper pack, OMG I love the pine sprigs, pine cones, and the different tones of greens, it is so pretty. I have just dabbled with cards, but I hope to get the layouts done this week for my December workshop...yeah for scrappy time for me!

Any hoots, back to the card, I created this one for this week's AHSC (sketch below) it is not exact but close enough, I just felt the pine cones blended into the Toffee piece I originally planned on using for the sentiment so I added the white stitched circle to give some colour separation.

Evergreen Christmas

I just got the new Evergreen cardmaking kit and I will be honest, I got it just for the Pinecone thin cuts! Don't get me wrong I do love the papers but those thin cuts are so great that I had to have them! I started this card using the AHSC for this week but I moved my phone so was not watching the sketch to closely and missed some key design pieces so stay tuned for another project more closely matching that sketch!
