A Couple Cards

Here's the card I sent to the UK for the November CCC.  I chose the option of making a white on white wreath card.  This was such fun to make, as I do love wreaths!  

I used branch dies from several different sets.  Each type was die cut from a different white paper and one was clear embossed, another was left plain, another had shimmery watercolor added and another had some glitter.  

The bow is Impression Obsession and the sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio Folk Snowflake.  I used light molding paste and a Magenta brick stencil for the background.  I'm entering SSS Wednesday 

I actually forgot that I bought The Greetery Peaceful Olive stamp/stencils/dies last year.  So glad I finally used these products to make a card.  Luckily, there is an instruction sheet with the stamp set.

You start with the stencils and then stamp the details using the one piece stamp.  The inks for the leaves are Altenew Fresh Leaf, Grass Field and Shadow Creek.  Couldn't get a picture showing the true color of the lightest green.  Trust me, it's not yellow.  The inks for the olives are PTI Autumn Rose and Scarlet Jewel.  I stamped the branch in Altenew Rocky Shore. 

"Wishing You" was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn and "Peace" was inked with Scarlet Jewel at the bottom, Autumn Rose at the top and was stacked 3 high.  I added soft gold watercolor splatters and carefully drug my brush around the edges of the panel.  The letters were covered with Shimmer Pico Embellisher.  The mat is SSS Matt Champagne metallic cardstock.  I'm entering JUGS and Christmas Kickstart.
