I have another Christmas card to show you... and it's one of those cards which turned out the way I saw it in my mind's eye... LOVE it when that happens!
The wreath is a free cutting file from SVG cuts. I used plain white acrylic paper to cut it, then colored it with a gold Pentel paint marker. The large pearls have been in my stash for ages. It always seems too large for any project, but I think it works this time, used as baubles in my wreath!
Sentiment stamped on vellum , layered on purple card stock, and popped it with foam tape.
I had the help from a few challenges to make this card:
Less is more ~ Christmas card in non traditional colors
Just us girls challenge ~ Wreath
Virginia's view challenge ~ All things Metallic
Simon says stamp ~ Anything goes
Addicted to stamps ~ CAS
Thanks so much for visiting me today!
WOW! Simply adorable Hannelie and so intricate. Love the non-traditional colours you've used and a fabulous Christmas make. Great challenge combo too ... so clever.
