I turned the sketch 180 degrees. Panel #3 was done with a Scor-Pal and the score lines highlighted with pencil. The slender #6 panel became a bushy pine bough complete with pine cones.
The pines cones were made with a new die set from the Greetery. Betsy Veldman is a wizard at creating stacked dies for a realistic look. She did a hen-and-chick last spring and now has done a pine cone. These are the most realistic looking pine cone dies that I have seen. I colored them with watercolors and white acrylic.
My Christmas cards have been mailed, so it is time to work on some thank yous for the season.
