Hello friends, I hope you are doing well today! Being very behind on my Christmas cards I decided it was time to get into the holiday spirit! This makes TWO Christmas cards completed. The gals at The Paper Players suggest a color challenge of the traditional colors of red and green, with the elegance of gold added.
Here's my take on the challenge. I'm happy it prompted me to get making!
The beautiful wreath image is from Simon Says Stamps Today and Every Day stamps. I just love this wreath, and although not a Christmas set, that's the way I envisioned it today. The wreath is actually made up of leaves and flowers and I love that versatility.
I embossed the image with gold ink onto Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper. I used Distress Inks to watercolor the design. For the sparkle, I added berries cut with a punch out of red glitter paper. A gold bow added more elegance.
I am happy you've come to visit me today. Let's do it again soon!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
