Here is a pretty Christmas card made using the Beautiful Boughs dies and Peaceful Boughs stamp set with soft patel colours.
To recreate the Beautiful Boughs card you will need:
Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left and lower right corners.
Shaded Spruce – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left and lower right corners.
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left and lower right corners x 2.
Scrap Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron & Whisper White
I began by die cutting a number of the small single branches from the scrap Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron and Whisper White cardstock.

I laid them out in a rough circle on one of the Whisper White panel to work out how many I would need – 11 as it happens.

I lifted them up and then glued them all down using a Mini Glue dot on the bottom of each branch. I wanted the branches to have some dimension and movement to add texture to the card.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Mint Macaron ink.
The decorated layer was then added to the Shaded Spruce layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added with the same glue to the Mint Macaron card base. I used a trio of Red Rhinestones to decorate the finished acrd front.

The remaining Whisper White panel was stamped with a pine bough using Mint Macaron ink and adhered inside the card. The envelope was stamped with the same ink and image.
I hope you like the card.
