Cotoneaster Greetings | by Toni M Maddox

Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a floral card that reminds me of my cotoneaster bush.

The blooms of my cotoneaster aren’t very exciting but the resulting berries are prolific and gorgeous.

I cut the Sylvan Berries Contour Layers from Memory Box Glitzy Glitter 6×6 cardstock and leftover cardstock I had used Brushos on once upon a time. I cut the Sylvan Leaves from Memory Box Lush Green 6×6 cardstock.

I used the negative of the leaves diecut as a stencil with Distress Oxide Rustic Wilderness. What an easy way to add additional depth!

I spattered a bit of Copics Opaque White and Distress Oxide Spray Vintage Photo before adding the sentiment.

For that I used one of the Spellbinders Glimmer Satin Pastel hot foils with the Hugs Sugar Script Hot Foil Plate & Die. I wanted a smaller outline so cut the sentiment with the Sugar Script Big Hugs die. Cool shadow, right?!
