We have a fun holiday photo with plenty to inspire you for Time Out Challenge #278. Check out the blog for a close up.
If you know me, you won't be surprised that the wreath inspired my card. I do love wreaths! I used an old woodblock Art Impressions stamp that I still love as much as the first time I saw it.
The wreath in the photo has a couple shades of green and I actually used 3 CN9 inks: Clover, Evergreen and Artichoke. I inked, spritzed with water and stamped on watercolor paper multiple times, until I was happy with the look. Luckily I still have an old fashioned stamp positioner. I used the same inks to color the circle mat and added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries. The little PPP bows were cut from a beautiful red cardstock and I attached them just in the center. The red cardstock is almost gone, but there was enough for the red mat die cut with a MFT rectangle. I die cut a tiny gold circle for the center of the bow to tie in with the mat and the Birch Press Merry Christmas Vintage Sentiment. You can find lots of inspiration from our guest designer and my teammates on the blog, along with all the challenge details. Our sponsor is Gina K, so better check it out!
I'm entering SSS Monday (Stickles) and WAW.
This year seems to have flown by, scary we are not December. But on a positive not (for me at least) come 1st January Spring is the next season.
