I made this for 2 Splitcoast Challenges..the Splitcoast Fan Club Dec Christmas Challenge (SCSCCDEC19) & the Featured Stamper (FS669) where the FS is my friend Kia! I chose THIS card as my inspiration. I loved the layout & framing so I kept those, but I used different images/dies & opted to use an embossed & sponged frame instead of stenciling.
For my card, I used some deckle rectangle dies to make 2 sizes of frames. On the white one, I sponged the inside & outside edges to give it some contrast & on the larger one, I ran it thru w/ an embossing folder then lightly sponged over the top of the embossing. The ornament branch was colored & die cut w/ its matching die & I used fun foam to pop it & the frame up a bit. A couple of die cut cardinals were added for a little pop of red.
The greeting was stamped & I used my out of the box die cutting technique on it. It works the same way as it does when using an image..just make your cuts right on the black lines where they go inside the die.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copic colors & product links: The Write Stuff

Wow, Julie. That frame is fabulous, the ornaments and boughs are wonderful, and the birds are so great. All together they make a totally fabulous card. Wow. Hugz

Really a lovely card, Julie, and a wonderful case for Kia. I love that branch with its ornaments hanging down. Beautifully colored. The frames really set it off!
