Two beautiful wreath cards, Bonnie! Just love the red and kraft combo!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Bonnie, I love the gentle background on the first and the wreath die cut. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me some comments xx
ReplyDeleteLove your rustic wreath cards. They are perfect with the colors you used, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove what you come up with when using your UFO box!! And really love the colour scheme for these cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath designs, Bonnie. I have been using my UFO pieces a lot to for last minute cards. TFS your beauties my friend. Happy Holidays...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful, little traditional Christmas card. I love their subdued, neutral colors.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Thank goodness for the UFO box...artsy and unique x
ReplyDeleteLove the colour combo for these two cards, very rich and elegant. That wreath die in the same tone as the card base is perfect harmony! Beautiful dear friend. xxx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful wreath cards Bonnie. I do love that wreath die .. hmmmm ... I need to restrain myself from buying more dies!! :) Hope you are finding a few minutes to put your feet up and relax too. xx
ReplyDeleteI just ordered that PB wreath. I love what you did with it so I'm pinning. The pine cone wreath is such a great idea.
ReplyDeletesuch pretty cards, I love that PB wreath. I have it but just haven't gotten around to using it this year.
ReplyDeleteStriking yet simple cards. By this point with Christmas cards, I find "less is more". Seems like you are making such good use of the UFO box. Stay Merry.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely rustic wreaths Bonnie! Love the brown/cherry colors - no matter how many Christmas cards I make - it seems I always need one or two more! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I LOVE these! I'm partial to kraft and neutrals and combined with red it's beautiful! Love the color you added on the main panel of the first one. Your generation stamping on the second one is so well done. Fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous wreath cards, Bonnie. Just a busy time of year that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
Both wreath cards are gorgeous Bonnie. Love the first one on kraft with that lovely stmap. The second one looks fabulous stamped with the simple die cut and bow. Nice touch with the scoring.
ReplyDeleteLove your color choice for the wreath (not usual green), Bonnie! Beautiful and warm color combo! Lightly ink distressed background is a nice touch. Hideko :-)
ReplyDeleteI have this PB die, and gosh, never thought to do this color combo with it. It's gorgeous in these natural looking warm colors. I LOVE your watercolor take on it too. Again, would not have thought to use it in this way...you're a genius!!! Not to mention being a super designer! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful wreaths. Love how you chose to make them rustic. Great colours too.
ReplyDeleteThe kraft with red for the bow and red gems on the first wreath, and then a similar colour scheme for the second with stamped light brown pinecones and accompanying bow and sentiment work well on both. I love the embossed frame too Bonnie. x
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful wreath card Bonnie, that's a great die cut and your pine cone wreath is fabulous..very clever, great colours too. Thank you Bonnie for hosting CAS Watercolour and CAS Mix Up challenges I do so enjoy the 'challenge' you girls pose... looking forward to 2018 - all the Very Best for Christmas and the New Year.
