Every Blessing Pine Cones Card

Today I'm taking a break from fall cards to bring you the pine cone.  And not just any pine cone, but a fabulous layered pine cone stamp set!  

STAMPS:  Impression-Obsession LAYERED PINECONE
              Impression-Obsession die DIE152-N 
              Impression-Obsession BLESSINGS

Impression-Obsession artist, Dina Kowal, has designed this five layer pine cone stamp set, with three verses. This is a game changer for me.  These images layer over each other so perfectly, yet are great when they stand alone.

To create my card, I stamped five pine cones onto watercolor paper.  I stamped some using all five pieces of the set, some using only three, or two, or even one.  I used distress inks in shades of browns.  

On textured green card stock, I layered a die cut of IO's DIE152-N onto a panel of the same card stock.  Then I layered that with brown and a white card base.  I fussy-cut the LAYERED PINECONE images I had stamped previously, using foam tape for some to add dimension. 

 I stamped the verse onto a watercolor paper scrap and distressed it with some green distress ink, and added it to the card with foam tape.  There is this same verse in the stamp set, but I chose the larger individual stamp verse for my card.

Some champagne colored sequins add just the right bling to the card, don't you think?  

I have a little tip for you.  I cut a sheet of white card stock slightly smaller than the stamp set package and stamped each image in the set onto to.  This way, I can see at a glance what each piece of the pine cone looks like.  It helps when choosing colors and designing your card.  I store the panel in the package with the stamp set.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
