I bought the Spruce & Sprigs set just after Christmas last year but the dies were out of stock, so I've only just got the dies now. From the inspiration photo, I immediately saw a rustic Christmas scene so decided to start with a kraft card base and put another kraft layer backed with Dark Chocolate. For the arrangement, I stamped and die-cut several of each image in both kraft and white. In the end I decided to stick with the kraft as they suited the inspiration photo more.
I arranged the images then used Press 'n' Seal to hold it together while I adhered it to the card. The sentiment comes from Signature Christmas which is still one of my favorites sentiment sets (along with Signature Greetings).
Thanks for visiting.

I remember when the Spruce & Sprigs set came out last year, I was so excited to get them into my crafty little hands! Your card reminds me of just how beautiful that set is, and that I MUST take it out and use it more often. Lovely framing and fabulous LO!

LOve this set, and your card, Karren ... it is new to me when released, and took me months to find the dies in stock! Look at you in New Zealand using press n seal - which I haven't tried yet! [don't tell Laurie, the Queen of Press n Seal!] xx
