This has been the most interesting card to take a picture of, several times with the scanner and several with the digital camera. and everytime with both, the popped up pinecone really looks burgandy,It did turn a funny color when I put the glitter on it, so this time I stamped it on the green paper and put some snow on it.. I guess it is better.. any way, I really like the card, but I didn't really want a burgandy pinecone.. they don't look that way IRL.
I stamped the pinecones in brown and the pine bows in old olive. then stamped the bows again with white craft ink and embossed with white emboss. The card is Bazil paper that I sanded and distressed. what do you think?

I took the clear emboss pad and touched it here and there onto the pinecone stamp, stamped it over the already stamped brown pinecone, then embossed with white ep.
this way you can add just the right touch of snow you are looking for, a lot or a little. Hope this helps.

I think it's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the how-to info! It can be frustrating when you can't get a pic to look as good as IRL but even so, this is beautiful! So something this gorgeous just has to go to the faves file, thanks!
