12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Here's another card for you to check out
This one was quite simple as the silhouette machine did most of the work, I did emboss the cut out with  beautiful metallic green and ruby embossing powders.
Merry Christmas is a die cut from Tim Holtz's word thinlits
I couldn't get enough of the simple stories paper this year and I believe the wood grain paper is from MME
Thanks for looking, see you tomorrow...

CC3 Challenge #3 - Faux Tea Roses

Hi everyone. Lets take a walk into my secret garden. This project got a little bigger than expected but me and 3D is a perfect storm. 

The challenge this time is using the Tattered Pinecone die from Tim Holtz, to make these beautiful roses. The sponsor this time is Inspiration Emporium for the lucky random winner. 

You can check out the teams' projects and entries here:

Everything in this project is either paper, ink or embossing powder and one big background stamp for the "ground"

The roses are made with patterned paper or coffee filters.

The "tree" is TIm Holtz' tapered fringe die 

Gazebo,bike,fence and chairs are from Silhouette cut files
