I die cut the wreath from watercolor paper & used Altenew watercolor markers. I just dabbed on one color at a time & lightly spritzed. The berries were die cut from a scrap watercolored with the 2 brown markers in my set. I used gold Tansai Gambi watercolors on the scrap from the center of the wreath so I could die cut the additional leaves. The sentiment from Delicate Wreath was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn & clear embossed on a vellum strip. I used a brown scrap for the mat. The Classic Kraft card & the wreath were splattered with gold paint. Several of the Small Butterflies I gold embossed are still on my table, so I painted one to match the wreath. 
I used a small paint brush & a bit of water with the ink from the markers. Decided it needed to be softer, so I brushed on the gold watercolor. Finished off with PFS Espresso Jewels. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground.
As you may know, I love wreaths! I have many stamps & dies, but I also like to make my own. Decided to use my Gina K Wreath Builder template & SSS Peaceful Christmas for a kraft & red card to enter Color Hues challenge, Rudolph Days & SSS Flickr 186. 
I stamped the little branch & the poinsettia in Avery Elle Cherry pigment ink. The 3 dots were stamped in white pigment ink, but you can't tell because I decided they needed to sparkle! 
The sentiment from the set was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn. I used direct to paper on the edges of the card front & the mat using the red & white inks so everything would match.
I've seen so many beautiful tree cards lately, I pulled out my old IO Fir dies. I colored the trees with Sparkle pens & mounted them to a Lil' Inker quilted panel that had some Distress Oxide speckled egg blended in the center. 
The old Penny Black word die was cut from silver metallic cardstock & I used alpha stickers for the sentiment strip. One of my sequin mixes includes little silver stars which I used instead of dots or sequins.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

Your Thanksgiving wreath is elegant and ever so pretty! The Christmas wreath has a coziness to it and a little sparkle never hurt anyone! Those trees are beautiful also love the font on the die cut 'peace'. Three amazing cards!
ReplyDeleteGreta, you are doing a great job of getting those Christmas cards made. Loving the fall wreath too. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great variety of cards, Greta! For your first card, I am swooning over that butterfly! As for your second card...I too love wreaths and yours is just perfect with the pops of sparkle! And your last card, Love those tall trees and that great background! I enjoyed this post! Thanks for playing at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteA trio of loveliness Greta! I like the vellum sentiment tucked under the wreath on the Autumn card. Red and Kraft make a gorgeous combo on the Peace card and the trees really pop on the third card. I like the touch of colour behind the trees. TFS
