Merry Monday # 156

The Merry Monday Challenge is to use Pine cones, Greens and the word BELIEVE.
I used PTI Peaceful Pinecones and my MISTI to double stamp and to have the leaves be in the same corner of the card.  After everything was stamped, I then cut it out using a Lil' Inkers Stitched rectangle die.  The "believe" (a  little yellow bicycle die) is cut from gold foil paper and once from white.  The gold sequins are from PPP.
I added a little bit of gold Wink of Stella to the pine cone tips.
