STAMPIN' UP! TOILE TIDINGS CRUMB CAKE & GARDEN GREEN CHRISTMAS CARD

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper is on special until the end of October.  The pack contains papers in Garden Green and Very Vanilla, and Real Red and Very Vanilla, designs.  I struggle to know what to do with this paper, so I have altered it a little.  I chose one of the paper patterns with foliage all over it.  I started off colouring a few of the sprigs (mistletoe, I think) with the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker, then decided to add Crumb Cake ink to the whole piece, using a Sponge Brayer.  I like that the application of ink brings out the subtle background pattern in the paper.

The background is clearer in this photo, as are the tiny Very Vanilla (I know they look white, in the photo!) Stitched Stars added to the top of the tallest die-cut tree:

The Very Vanilla and gold accents help to lighten the card up a little ... I liked the vintagey look, but it did look a bit dreary with just Crumb Cake and Garden Green!

I have used the new Curvy Dies, and Curvy Christmas stamp set (for the sentiment), which will be available for purchase from 3rd November.  All other products used to make this card are available now in my online store.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
