Inspired By #103 ... painted pine cones

 
You may, or may not, know that I'm not a big fan of blue.
It doesn't matter, however … because I'm a big fan of our
IB103 inspiration - and even these frosty blues!
 
Here's how I was inspired - with a few pine boughs
in the bowl, in place of those cones:
 
 
Altenew came to my rescue again.  Their Holiday Bow set will never go out of style!  The blues I've used came from their Secret Garden set of inks.  My old-faithful SU texture ef, and the Hemstitched Circles from Spellbinder made a
nice vessel to contain my boughs.
 
The countdown is now ON, my friends! 
I do hope your list of wishes are filled, and wrapped!
Thanks for stopping by today … I would totally
understand if you didn't have time to play cards this week - but it would be an extra big treat if you did!

    Superb...whether you like blue or not, you certainly know how to use it to it's best advantage. WOW! The card would look wonderful at CASology's current challenge, too.

    I love how you played with all those pretty shades of blue, Michele! Great idea to substitute the pine cones with the pine boughs and I'm loving your bow! Such a lovely festive card!
