I mentioned the challenge at ABC Christmas
that the theme is W for WREATHS or
X for XoXo
to my BFF Dar at Dar's Crafty Creations
and she challenged me to make a card for it in traditional Christmas colors and to use something new! I'm always up for a good challenge!!
I die cut a Cheery Lyn Wreath in different green scrap pieces
then offset them when I adhered them together.
The bow was cut from another wreath die that I just snipped off
to place on my wreath. The sentiment is part of the first
wreath set and I die it first from a adhesive back foam
and also from a snippet of red card stock.
I used a piece of a bright red brick designer paper (my new item) then
placed a piece of embossed vellum on top that I received
from a friend when she sent me a birthday card.
It really toned down the brightness of the brick red paper,
but made a pretty 'soft' place to add my wreath to.
