This is a 2nd card I made for CC643. Pam is our hostess and she has chosen gold, soft suede and old olive for the color palette. Dessert option this is week Christmas greenery.
For the greenery, I used the CottageCutz spruce stems die. The acorns are also another die from CottageCutz. Layered those over a page from an old hymnal with a Christmas song. My friend Lisa, LisaEDesign Blog sent me some backgrounds and different pages to use on cards.
I added some Stampin'-Up gold metallic ribbon tape to the top of the card. And, I tied the greenery with some Stampin'-Up gold cord.
Added my die cut Joy word. It was cut with a PTI word die.

Mary, this card is absolutely stunning. Every single detail perfect. Now I might have to search for an old hymn book instead of that new SU music background.

Fantastic cluster of greenery! I love your gold twine bow and the way it ties in with the horizontal band of glittery gold. The 'Joy' die cut is lovely and everything looks wonderful against the hymnal page background. Beautiful Christmas card!
