This is for today's Divine Divas Inspiration Challenge. Our inspiration picture is this Pottery Barn room. Don't you just love all the natural colors and texture in this picture Lori chose for today's challenge? The Pottery Barn always has some great looking rooms, don't they?
I'm also combining it w/ Tues. color challenge. I didn't have any chocolate left so I subbed this dark kraft c/s and had to use hunter because I don't have artichoke.
The pine cone was stamped w/ library green ink onto kraft c/s. I added white highlights w/ a white gel pen and I used a white Prismacolor pencil to trace the frame on the inside, a gold Prisma to trace it on the outside. Since the image is out of the box, I cut it out the same way and attached it to a white layer.
The holly circle was done the same way and the greeting was stamped w/ cardinal ink inside the circle. I used Spellbinders circle nesties to emboss the outer and inner circles then used the white gel pen to add the faux stitching.
The kraft bg was punched along one side w/ a holly border punch then I used a Cuttlebug herringbone folder to emboss it up to the punched edge. More faux stitching was added and I made two faux brads out of a scrap of cranberry c/s. The white card front was stamped w/ the green ink using the pine bough image. After putting it all together, I added a little pre-made plaid bow.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Beautiful!!!! I love the herringbone folder used on your Kraft and the holly border punch. The out of the box image is gorgeous and so is the sentiment piece. Just an awesome job on this beauty!
