Hi everybody,
A while back Wild Orchid Crafts introduced various gorgeous Christmas berry sprays and my favorite right away was the one with red Christmas Berries, pine cones and holly leaves. Today I'd like to share a card that I made with just one of these gorgeous sprays.
The image is by Lili of the Valley and is called Pile of Presents. The paper that I used are old ones by Basic Grey and I thought they matched the spray perfectly.
A close up of the image. I colored the image again to match the pretty spray and the gorgeous red open roses.
And a close up of the berries, leaves and pine cones. As I mentioned I only used one of these sprays, I even have some berries
left. I thought I'd explain how I used the spray. I removed the tape
with which the leaves, berries and pine cones are attached to each
other, cut of a bit of the excess stamens and slipped the stamens under
the image that I glued on the card base with thick 3D glue (the glue was
of course still wet when I did this). With a little syringe I added a
bit more glue underneath the pine cones and the berries but I'm pretty
sure they would have stuck in place without that drop of glue ones the
3D glue had completely dried.
I hope you like my Christmas card and love these gorgeous sprays as much as I do. Have a great day everybody!
Hugs,

Good morning Mariska,
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely stunning with the berries and pine cones to add that bit extra texture and dimension to it. I LOVE the 3d decoupaged teddy and his presents that he is so carefully trying to carry. He looks hand coloured as apposed to printed off which just adds to his charm and the beauty of the card. The beautiful red roses tone in so right with the other colours that it makes a fantastic gift for someone because this is more than just a card. Thank you for showing us your inspiration Mariska,
