I created two traditional cards with this set.   I love the pine cone branch!  It was really fun to work with.  Let's take a look at each card. On this card, I stamped with Charcoal ink on Vanilla Cardstock and used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers for coloring.  Gold shimmer trim and embellishing tread along with Gold Glitter gems accent the card. Creating a wreath with the pine branch was easy.  I traced a circle onto the cardstock and then stamped the pine branch aro...
