Pinecone Joy

 Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I think it's time to get serious about making Christmas cards. I really love the look of Prismacolor pencils on kraft colored card & I've kind of been in the mood for that, so my card today is just that.

I used a combo of the black & rhubarb inks to ink the pinecone then used the Prismas to color it. The image was masked & I stamped the pine bough w/ the northern pine ink. The snow was added w/ a white Posca paint pen & I used a paintbrush & some thinned white paint to add the snow splatters. I sponged around all of the edges w/ a Brilliance moonlight white ink pad to add a little more of the snowy look. 
 Here's the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful card Julie! Wonderful idea to hang the pine cone from the pine branch and you did a gorgeous job coloring it! My favorite part is the snow gathering in the "Joy" - as Karin said it's the perfect finishing touch!
