October 2015: PTI Blog Hop

Happy October!  I'm back with this month's PTI blog hop project.  It's my first holiday card of the season.  I typically can't get into the holiday spirit until after Halloween and Thanksgiving, but that leaves me very limited time to work on holiday projects, so it's nice to be working a little ahead.  :-)

This month's inspiration was all about the traditional red and green Christmas colors, greenery, ribbon and shiny ornaments.  All sorts of things to jump start the creativity.  Since my October release order just arrived on Friday, it was an easy decision for me to break out the new Spruce & Sprigs set and dies, along with the Wet Paint Holiday dies.  I found some red metallic card stock in my stash from eons ago.  Sure hope I can find some more, as I only had one sheet.  I liked the effect of stamping the pine sprig in Pinefeather Green on Aqua Mist card stock.  Some Glossy Accents on the berries to give them that natural shine and that pretty much finishes up my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
