Festive Foliage is one of my new (to me) WM stamp sets. The images are so beautifully done and the detail is fabulous. I decided to use this image and emboss in silver. I stamped the entire branch on Pinefeather cardstock before embossing. Then I restamped the pine cones on Dark Chocolate. They were then embossed, cut out and added on top. The background paper is one of those treasures I just happened to come across when I got out my Christmas papers. It is a sheet of patterned vellum that I have had for several years. To help create the winter feel I glued it to a sheet of white cardstock so the pattern is more visible. The sentiment from Christmas Cottage was stamped in Versamark and then Memento Lady Bug before embossing with clear embossing powder. I love the icy look it created! The base is dry embossed with a woodgrain impression plate. Rhinestones colored with a Copic marker add a touch of brighter color.
I have been so inspired by all the wonderful WM projects that have been posted during the past couple of weeks. Wish I had time to try them all out before Christmas!
Hope you enjoy the Waltz! Here's a link to Claire's blog where you can find information on how to participate and a link to Waltz.
