Hello stamping friends! The more Christmas cards the merrier, that is! I am here with another one for you today as my pile of completed cards is growing! This idea of stamping many images and having them die cut and ready to go is really working for me. I had quite a few die cut holly leaves with berries leftover after THIS project and when I saw them on my desk the next morning I decided to make them into a wreath.
This is creativity at it's best! I began with a white die cut circle, and drew a light pencil line inside the circle to help me keep the shape as I filled in the die cut leaves and berries. I added some stamped pine boughs behind the die cuts, and a few dots of different colors of Copics to help the eye see the circle.
Choosing to go for the bling, I used the Wink of Stella Shimmer pen on the berries, and added glitter here and there. And of course - sequins to go with the gold embossed sentiment.
I am adding this to
the sketch at Sunday Stamps,
Tic Tac Toe Challenge where I chose the right row down.
and the Card Concept where I went with the Clean and Layered Style.
That's a lot of challenges in one post for me! Thanks for your visit today, and for sticking with me through this long post.

So fun, Cindy, and I love the floral style for this! Such fresh colors! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
What a bright, refreshing and happy Christmas card! I love the wreath that you've created - it just looks fantastic with that bow. And I love the watercolored look of everything on this! Thank you so much for joining us at the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge!
And what a pretty wreath they make! This is marvelous Cindy!
Beautiful! I love the idea of having a pile of stamped and die cut images ready to go. What pretty stamps these are, too. Everything I have would need to be colored, but I'm thinking that would also be fun... when there's time. Your colors are so pretty and the paper, sigh...
Beautiful wreath....and so perfectly constructed! :). Beautifully done.....and I Iove the DSP!
Beautiful use of pieces and parts to make a wreath! And I love that background die-cut. Thanks for joining Sunday Stamps this week.
Wow, Cindy, the wreath you created from your pile of die cuts turned out absolutely exquisite! The stamping beneath and the interior dots really add some nice dimension and fullness! So glad you played along with us at Sunday Stamps!
