Welcome to a new week and a new challenge at Merry Monday. This week’s challenge hostess is me! I chose to have everyone use “Twigs or Branches” on their projects and I hope you’ll play along. Here’s mine:

I had fun playing with the pinecones & branches for my card. Everything was stamped and cut out and glued to a Stitched Die Oval shape. I also added my sentiment by stamping on Vellum Cardstock. Notice how shiny the sentiment is? I created my own colored embossing by inking in VersaMark Ink followed by Cherry Cobbler Ink. Enough to keep the colored ink wet so I could use my Heat Tool:

The addition of the Gold Foil Sheet bow really finished off my project beautifully!

I hope you will join myself and my teammates for our challenge this week. Please make sure you visit Merry Monday to see the projects from my teammates and I!
