Maple leaves in Vivid! inks of Red, Olive and Butterscotch mingle with the twiggy branches of a Winterberry Wreath here. Its a quick + easy way to turn a traditional holiday image into a fall-colored card for autumn greetings - or rustic menus and placecards for your Thanksgiving celebration. Cinnamon Spice Glitter adds a warm sparkle. Here's another version of a similar layout featuring Vivid! inks.
Let the same basic design multi-task for holiday cards - stamp and emboss it in gold or white and Smooch the little berries in Siren. Bling it with a dusting of Snowdrift or Champagne Sparkle Fibers for a holiday shimmer. Add a festive greeting and that's it!
