Deck The Halls Skis ~ PP226

Hello and happy Tuesday to all of you!  I haven't played along with The Paper Players for quite some time and I thought this color combination looked fun and festive, so I gave it a try!

I had been looking for ideas for another project on Pinterest and came across this picture.....

This was my jumping off point for this card.  I wanted to use up some of my older DSP and this ski sweater print was a perfect match, I thought.  

Since I don't own the new stamp set {Winter Wishes} which has a ski in it, I had to make my own!  I stamped the hardwood stamp with Real Red ink onto Real Red cardstock and then cut out 3/4" strips.  I hand cut the tips of the skis and rolled them over a bit to make the tips bend up.  

The pine branches are from {Wonderland}.  I fussy cut them out and sponged them with coordinating ink. I also sponged the edges of all the Crushed Curry cardstock with Crushed Curry ink to mute the brightness of it just a bit.  The green in the DSP is actually Garden Green, but I think it goes just fine with my Cucumber Crush card base and sentiment. 

A couple of gold accents thrown on in the form of a gold brad and gold cord and my card was basically done!  This was a fun one to do! 

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Happy Scenes, Hardwood, Wonderland

Ink: Cucumber Crush, Baked Brown Sugar, Real Red, Crushed Curry

Paper: Trim The Tree DSP paper stack, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Real Red, White
