For today's Free For All Challenge (F4A145), we are to use fruits or veggies or colors of fruits or veggies. So ok, this may be stretching things a tad, but pine cones are fruits and so are the holly berries. Or I guess I could go w/ the colors rhubarb and celery. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it because I really need to make some more Christmas cards.
The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs and are a mix of new and older and pretty much everything (except the bg) is gold embossed. The chickadee image is from the new Chickadee Ornament and since I wanted to put it on my wreath, I fussy cut it out. The Apple Wreath (minus the apples) was embossed on a die cut circle. The pine cones (from Sing for Joy), were also embossed and fussy cut. I attached my wreath on top of a Wood Background I stamped w/ the sand ink. The greeting (from Christmas Flourished Verses) was die cut w/ a tag die. A bow and some designer paper finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.
Thanks so much for looking! More details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Gorgeous Christmas card, Julie. People on your Christmas card list must feel very fortunate indeed to receive your beautiful creations each year. All your cards are "keepers" IMO.

Hey! Julie, I totally agree with the pinecones and berries as fruit! The gold embossing of this image is beautiful!
