A Bough to Unity

There is just something very down-home and warming about using Kraft cardstock on Christmas card. I can really see me using a lot of it this holiday season. It really goes so very well with the traditional colors of Christmas and that's probably one reason I love it so.

This image is from Unity and the pine branch holds a place for a cheerful holiday greeting, and also serves as a nice place to hang a few ornaments that also come in this set of three.

I stamped the ornaments and then filled in color using a combination of Smooch and Spica Glitter pens. I then "hung" the ornaments with some sparklie metallic string and tied a bow topping it off with a glittery piece of chipboard.

How are your holiday cards coming along? Are you motivated yet? No? What about if I told you that there are only 50 days left until Christmas? Has the panic set in yet? Never fear...there is still time. =)
