Ornamental Pine for TSSC342

Welcome back for another card!  I have a really cool one to share for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  First, let's look at the wonderful sketch Mary Jo has for us.

When I first looked at the sketch, I thought the circle looked a bit like a porthole. That got me thinking about a window to see inside the card.  So, I pulled out Ornamental Pine and came up with this card.

The window turned out just as I planned with the pine branch showing through.

The card started with a Garden Green base that I cut a circle out of with the Circle Framelits.

Next, a piece of window sheet and a Chocolate Chip frame cut from the Circle Framelits were added.  Trim the Tree Designer Paper and the sentiment went on below the window.  A pine cone along the side of the window finished off the front .

The inside was quick to put together.  The pine branch was stamped in the center to show through the window.  I inked up the stamp with Garden Green then used a baby wipe to clean off the branch so I could color it with a Chocolate Chip marker.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment below the branch so it would be seen only when the card was opened.

I really love how this card turned out, it's nice when your vision comes to life just as you planned! Now it's up to you!  I hope you are feeling inspired to make a card and join us.  Just go to Technostamper for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.
