I do like when challenges help motivate me to get hopping on seasonal cards. My card for today will be entered into the DRU Challenge #156 – Give Thanks and the Double D Challenges of Pine Trees and/or Pine Cones Challenge.
My pine branches and cones are from GKD’s Seasonal Sentiments stamp set and dies. The sentiment stamped in brown is also a Gina K Designs Thermo-Web Stamp n Foil set called Thankful Leaves. The copper foil embossed layer is from Michael’s Recollections and Sizzix Embossing Folder. The other metal dies used were my go to Waffle Flower A2 Layering dies. A few GKD sequins added just because!

Gorgeous card! Love the foil background with the embossing folder. The texture looks great on the foil.
I too like that foil background with all the texture it is fantastic. Love the pine cone too. You really nailed both these challenges my friend.
Another Wow! Love the copper!
Beautiful card. The coper foil background packs a real punch.
Thanks Judy. Cardstock is getting hard to come by so I snapped the copper and some other colors up at my local Michaels.
Challenges have a way of doing us such good favors. The colors and shine are the out standing focus for me.
Love your embossed copper background! Great job getting the brown and green on the single pine branch stamp. The sequins look great as well.
Thanks Lisa. I stamped a few times and then had to use a marker to create the brown.
BEAUTIFUL!! The embossed copper background is awesome.
Gayle, this is beautiful! I love how your pretty gold embossed background highlights your pinecones.
Oh Gayle this is just BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Pine Trees/Pine Cones’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
