I embossed the white base with the brick EF. Used blending brush to apply the twilight ink, followed by the silvery ink, trying to replicate the faux brick wall in our house. I cut all the die cut elements, brushed the pines with ink to add highlights, assembled the pieces. The gold paper used for the pine cones were a scrap, maybe Recollections brand, not sure. I added the blue gems (HoneyBee brand), both to add an element of surprise, and because they remind me of the blue berries that grow on blue spruce trees and many cedar trees. I discovered a tiny circle scrap on the floor leftover from a previous project, and thought it might look good in the center of the bow, so glued it there! Ha! It is from the Tonic Water Sprite Mirror Cardstock. It reflects light back in lots of colors. I could not let it go to waste!

Bonnie, this looks fabulous! I love the texture (those awesome bricks) and the greenery/bow add so much. What a great find on the floor - I'm glad you added it to the bow on your card! Thanks for participating in my Santa's Stuck in the Chimney Falliday Challenge!
