The Beautiful Boughs Die Set makes beautiful holiday cards, in all colors, including Purple Posy.

Beautiful Boughs
I began with a Purple Posy card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I topped it with a layer of more Purple Posy, cut with the largest Ornate Layers Die, and embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

Next, came a piece of Feels Like Frost Designer Paper, cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die, approximately 3 1/4″ X 1 3/4″. I used the largest Ornate Layers Die to cut a small edge, 1 3/4″, from Whisper White Cardstock, matching the outside border.
The focal point was cut with a Beautiful Boughs die from Whisper White Cardstock, and glued across the designer paper. The die is pictured in the first photo, and you can see the entire set in my Product List below.

The sentiment, “Celebrate the season,” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set, stamped in Highland Heather Ink, cut with the smallest Stitched rectangles Die, and attached with Dimensionals.
A sprinkling of Woven Threads Sequins added some sparkle.

I was inspired by the sketch at Fab Friday.
