Lavinia Stamps "Fir Cone Branch" embossed card

Well, I seem to be on a bit of roll with my card making today.  Here's another one! 

For the central image, I've used the Lavinia Stamps "Fir Cone Branch", stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I have used the same ink to stamp the "Just For You" sentiment, which is part of the "Heartfelt Verse Stamp Set".  I used a water colour pencil to colour the fir cones and then die cut into a stitched edge square.

I had a rummage through my basket of embossing folders which I sadly don't use often enough.  I cam across one with holly leaves, which I think came free with a magazine, that I thought would be a suitable background.  I die cut a larger square, again with a stitched edge.  Popped it in the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.  I then assembled the card.  I used foam pads to elevate the central fir cone area and also added some gold shimmer to the fir cones and branches using a gold gel pen.
