Created this Christmas Card for OSAAT DT Challenge #188 Use a Digi using digi, Ike Great Tit Pinecone. Decided to go w/ a Clean & Simple CAS uncolored look for the digi.

Framed the digi, used scrapbook paper with pinecones on it to complement the digi's pinecone, stamped sentiment and added ribbon.

  2. Well that a great bit of creative thinking - turning your digi into a framed print Melissa. It's very effective ... especially as your backing papers carry through the fir and pine cone theme from the image. Love Ingrid xxx
